Call of the Sea
Call of the Sea is impressive and immersive. I can’t think of many more examples of a better puzzle game with such an interesting story binding it together.

Easier to read review Here [saveorquit.com]

Challenging puzzles, a charming relationship study and an intriguing story make Call of the Sea a superior adventure puzzle game.

Call of the Sea is a first-person adventure and puzzle game set during the 1930’s.

After years and years of appointments and medical referrals, the doctors have all but given up on Norah’s unusual and rare condition. In pain, and suffering from horrible nightmares and visions, her husband Harry decides to embark on a quest to solve the riddle behind her affliction. The trail takes him to a remote island in the South Pacific that the locals fear and have named “The Island of Death”. When Harry goes missing without trace, Norah musters all her energy and travels to the island to investigate.

Overall Impressions🤔
I loved Call of the Sea. I just didn’t want to stop playing it.

The atmosphere is superbly done with layers and layers of lore, intrigue and mystery added to the mix at just the right times. There is even a short, but informative, seven-part prequel story in the news section to wet your appetite and introduce you to the two main characters. Check it out before you start!

I really enjoy good character development and the relationship between the two main characters is what drives the story forward. Norah and Harry are as deeply in love as the day they met, and this is portrayed wonderfully through voiced cut scenes, and letter correspondence between the two of them. The game manages to convince you that they have the perfect relationship and would do anything for each other. There are lots of different types of lore lying around to enforce this notion, from inscribed photographs showing special memories to events in their lives that we witness. I really enjoyed this part of the game as it made it feel like more than just a puzzle game loosely tied together.

The game felt like a true adventure where you cared about the characters and you wanted to know what happened to Harry and you wanted Norah to find him.

There is plenty of exploration to do, and lots of objects to examine. Objects that can be examined will invoke either a text-based summation and/or a voiced comment from Norah. Inspecting objects will add to the lore and reveal parts about the story and island. It is all cleverly layered and keeps the intrigue high.

Puzzles were imaginative but quite difficult I thought. I managed to solve them without any guides apart from two. One of these puzzles is broken and the other was slightly misleading. The puzzles were cleverly entwined around the story, which is mostly Polynesian based, and added to the immersion and feeling that the puzzle was part of finding Harry rather than a disconnected puzzle for the sake of it.

Some puzzles required making notes, even though there is a diary where all important clues and puzzle notes get added. The diary can only be brought up on full screen however which means you are flicking between puzzle and diary. I would have liked the option to have the diary visible alongside the puzzle so that you refer to it and solve the puzzle simultaneously.

I think most people will struggle with these puzzles. They take a bit of exploration to find the objects needed to provide the clues and when you have all the clues, it takes a fair bit of brain power to work them out. Personally, they hit just the right difficulty level with me and although I struggled, it was immensely satisfying when you reach that Eureka moment.

The island setting is beautiful and voice acting is superb. Cut scenes are dramatic and have a high production feel. The whole game feels mysterious and eerie.

Norah often thinks aloud and keeps the viewer in touch with her feelings and concerns, all beautifully voice acted.

The story is one of the best I have experienced in a puzzle game. Characters are strong and well developed with wonderful music and sound effects accompanying it.

There are six chapters and I played through the game twice to gain all the achievements. It took me around twenty hours to do so.

Call of the Sea is one of the best story-driven puzzle games I have played. It is unusual to find such a well-developed character base alongside such an intriguing story which matures as it progresses.

Puzzles may prove a little too difficult for some less experienced puzzle gamers but overall, the game is wonderfully produced and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would highly recommend it to puzzle lovers who like a good story.

Gameplay🕹️
You play as Norah Everhart, devoted wife to Harry Everhart.

In search of your missing husband, you arrive on a mysterious island and must explore for clues to Harry’s whereabouts. Along the way you will find evidence of your husband’s progress in trying to find a cure for your illness, and clues to his whereabouts and what happened to his party.

Norah has a journal where she notes important finds, and documents clues to puzzles which block her progress. You can refer to the diary at any time which provides invaluable help. The diary has a notes section which recaps the story and a log section which places all clues to puzzles.

Norah's journal contains the logbook where story elements are recorded and the notes section where puzzle solutions are kept.

Par : janner66


If an object is examinable, then an eye symbol will appear. The object can be rotated which sometimes reveals more information. Norah will comment on the object and any important information is noted.

Sometimes Norah will find a letter that Harry has written for her. This produces a small cutscene detailing Harry’s efforts in finding a cure and his concerns and worries.

Collecting clues is vital to progressing so you’ll need to examine everything you can. The notebook page should be full if you are harboring all valuable evidence so if there is a gap on the page you’ll need to keep looking.

Using the evidence in your notes and logs you’ll need to solve the puzzles at hand. You do not have an inventory as such but occasionally you will pick up objects that will be automatically used on the correct puzzle.

The puzzles are varied and interesting and can be quite challenging. There is a mixture of smaller and easier puzzles along with bigger ones with multiple facets. One of the first puzzles you’ll encounter is actually broken and referring to a guide proved this. If you get stuck on the lens aligner puzzle then you’ll need to look up the solution until it’s fixed.

Keyboard or controller can be used.

There are lots of interesting achievements to gather.

Graphics 📺
The graphics were beautiful. The game felt polished and professional. I did get some screen tearing in the early chapters though but this seemed to resolve itself later.

The island is well detailed and they’ve put a lot of effort into the Polynesian look and feel.

Sound 🎵
Voice acting was superb and there is a wonderful orchestral tune played for dramatic effect when required.

Conclusion🍳
Call of the Sea has the complete package.

I wish there were more games around like this. Often games suffer in one department and excel in others. Call of the Sea manages to produce a wonderfully intriguing story, characters who you want to invest your feelings with, a great setting full of eerie tales and mystery, and genuinely challenging and clever puzzles.

I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you buy this. Definitely one of the best games I have played this year.

画面优美,难度适中的解密游戏
克苏鲁神话属于较为冷门的话题。虽然名字广为人知,但实际真正了解的人并不算多一知半解就玩烂梗的小鬼很烦人。我也是早就听说过克苏鲁,但并不了解。这款游戏也算是我首次接触克苏鲁文化。或许有不少玩家与我一样,对克苏鲁文化并不熟悉。因此我会在本篇评测的后文中简要分享一下,从网络上摘录的克苏鲁介绍。

游戏画面
本部作品的画面属于写实偏卡通风格。虽然精细程度不高,但这类独特的画面处理方式,使物体较抽象的展现在玩家眼前,即使游戏仅有35G的容量,表现却让人感到舒适。游戏的色调方面,不同场景下的色调截然不同。冷暖色调的对撞形成了鲜明的对比。室外的阳光明媚,环境优美。茂密的丛林,绚丽的花朵与鸟,展现出活跃的生命力。每一个画面几乎都可以截图当壁纸。而秘密处所内环境阴暗,寒冷。奇异的物件,时不时出现的诡异画面,这种氛围,缓缓的给予玩家一种惊悚或恐怖的压力,进而上升到心理层面的恐惧。这可能就是克苏鲁文化的特点吧,通常没有直观的惊吓,取而代之的是慢慢深入内心的害怕。

游戏内容
游戏中,玩家身处于一个半开放的环境,需要在探索中解密,推进游戏流程。故事分为六个大章,每个章节中会有主要的解密流程以及一些隐藏内容。每个章节完成会重新加载游戏,并播放一段剧情短片。游戏的解密中规中矩,不难但也不算简单。谜题没有具体的提示,玩家需要在探索中发掘。而主角拥有一个笔记本,笔记本除了对游戏剧情做一定程度的解说,更主要的功能就是储存线索。当玩家接触到了重要的线索或游戏内容,主角会自动将其记录到笔记本中并进行组合。很多时候玩家不知道谜题题面,或没有解密思路时,可以参考笔记本中的提示。

游戏的背景中,女主身患怪病,深爱女主的男主为了治好怪病,而走上了一次不归之旅。女主则是为了找回男主,而再次踏上了这趟旅程。游戏虽然以克苏鲁为题材,但并没有引用大量难懂的克苏鲁神话作为剧情内容。即使有一些复杂的概念,游戏中的剧情也做了较为详尽的解说和介绍。因此像和我一样,不了解克苏鲁神话,但喜爱解密的玩家,也可以尝试本作。游戏的剧情并不难以理解。

克苏鲁
克苏鲁神话的诞生
克苏鲁神话并非传统意义上的神话,而是由美国作家洛夫克拉夫特(lovecraft,人称爱手艺)创作的一系列幻想恐怖小说。后人根据他的小说中的一些设定发展出了克苏鲁神话体系。

克苏鲁出现于爱手艺的一篇中篇小说《克苏鲁的呼喊》,里边详细描写了邪神克鲁苏及其疯狂的信徒,该邪神的原型可能来自于北欧神话的北海巨妖。克苏鲁神话以邪神克苏鲁作为这个体系的名字,事实上,克苏鲁在爱手艺的小说中并不出彩,不过克苏鲁更具有辨识度的形象更容易被人们记住,于是成为了克苏鲁神话的代名词。

摘自360图书馆克苏鲁神话体系简介[www.360doc.com]

克苏鲁的特点
在克苏鲁神话里面,原子弹的发明就是奈亚拉托提普教给爱因斯坦的,目的是让人类更快的自我灭绝,完成“大清扫”的任务。真正能在这个世界里闲庭信步安然入睡的存在是那些不可名状的疯狂的邪恶的远古支配者们,他们的存在不需要解释,他本身象征着的就是毫无理由的破坏和混沌。所谓的文明的智慧在他们伟大的愚钝和疯狂面前不堪一击,智慧种族的挣扎不过是在他们手掌里上演的闹剧罢了。

简而言之,克苏鲁神话,是与常规的神话体系建立秩序,神明为人类所见的主线所完全相背的,它代表着无序、疯狂、混沌。人类自以为是最强大的种族,迟早要征服宇宙。但是殊不知,真正的宇宙掌控者,沉睡在各种各样的空间之中,智慧种族只是他们手中的玩具。人类只要窥得古神/旧日支配者/外神的全貌就会癫狂致死!当他们从沉眠之中醒来的时候,就会夺取人类对地球、对宇宙的支配,让这个世界重归混沌,被无知与疯狂所笼罩。

Подобно моряку, Плывущему через Юрский пролив, Не знаю, куда приду я Через глубины любви.

Call of the sea — очень красочная игра-головоломка. Здесь вас ждёт таинственное приключение в самом сердце одного из островов Полинезии.

Сюжет.
1934 год. Нашу героиню зовут Нора Эверхарт. Прошёл год с тех пор, как её муж, Гарри, отправился в экспедицию вместе со своей командой. Вот уже очень давно от него не было никаких вестей, из-за чего Нора переживает, её даже мучают кошмары. Не в силах больше терпеть, девушка собирает вещи, а затем отправляется на поиски своего благоверного. Так Нора и оказалась на экзотическом острове, совсем одна, лишь с несколькими странными подсказками, но разве может чего-нибудь бояться тот человек, которым движет любовь?

Геймплей.
Необходимо пробираться вглубь острова по следам группы, оставившей после себя множество вещей. Всё это можно осмотреть, благодаря чему Нора будет по крупицам собирать информацию, подсказки, и заносить это в блокнот. Головоломок не так много, они разнообразные, но очень душные и нудные. Мой совет: скрупулëзно осматривайте каждый сантиметр острова, так как лучше сразу потратить какое-то время на сие, чем бегать потом повсюду и не понимать, что вы пропустили и как это теперь найти.

Локации и графика.
Как видно по скриншотам, игра весьма и весьма красивая, с простой, но сочной графикой. Локации разнообразные, начиная с зелёных зарослей, заканчивая полуразрушенными зданиями, оставленными древней цивилизацией. Нам даже удастся попутешествовать под водой, причём не раз.

Par : My name is you.

Звуковое сопровождение.
‌Оно тут отменное. Музыка порой играла такая, что невольно представляешь себя расхитителем гробниц или искателем какой-нибудь мифической страны, богатой несметными сокровищами. В общем, атмосфера, благодаря звукам, была пропитана духом приключений.

Не понравилось:
  • Головоломки, как было сказано, не впечатлили.
  • В общем и целом, это обычная игра, и я искренне не понимаю, почему у неё столь высокая цена?
  • Люблю лавкрафтовскую тему в играх, поэтому мне грустно, что тут так мало внимания уделили этому.
Хотелось написать негативный обзор, но сюжет спас ситуацию. Мне понравилась развязка игры, к тому же нам дают сделать выбор, который и влечёт за собой ту или иную концовку. По моему мнению, Call of the Sea — уверенный середнячок, можно приобрести по скидке. Я же ожидала от игры чуть большего.

В жизни истинная любовь не кончается свадьбой. Её венчают похороны.
 
My name is you.

パズルアドベンチャーながらも感情的なストーリー展開が魅力

 スペインのマドリードに拠点を置くOut of the Blue Gamesが制作した3Dのアドベンチャーゲーム。開発は約10名強で行い、コロナ禍以前よりリモート体制を敷いて、プリプロからマスターアップまでに約1年半かかっているそうです。一見すると静止画のように美しいビジュアルのため、ポイント&クリック型のゲームに見えますが、本作はFPS視点で3D空間を歩き探索する類のものになります。プロローグを含むと全7章で構成されており、行く先々で様々な障害に遭遇しますが、周辺で得られる情報を基にパズルを読み解き、活路を切り開いていくことになります。

 ノラの家系は代々原因不明の謎の奇病を患っており、ノラにもその徴として手に黒い病斑が現れていた。ノラの母も同じ病を患って命を落としており、形見としてオルゴールを受け継いでからは、夜な夜な奇怪な夢に苛まれるようにもなっていた。ひどい時は熱を生ずることもあった。夫ハリーはそうした妻の病状を見かねて調査を始め、病斑が南太平洋の部族が持つタトゥーの性質に似ていることを突きとめる。ハリーは調査隊とともに、地元の漁師達が不吉だとして近寄らなかった孤島へ向かうが、その後消息を絶った。帰らぬ夫の無事を確認するため、ノラは一人夫が消息を絶った島へ向かおうとしていた。


 自然の緑と島の中を流れる水の青、そしてその周囲を包む白い砂や岩の色彩がとにもかくにも美しいです。夕陽や差し込む光によって綺麗なグラデーションが生じており、立ち止まって眺めると絵画のように見える瞬間があります。コントラストが高い画作りでありながら、調和が取れたアートの美しさは本作の琴線足りえると思います。

 美しい島の外周部から物語は始まり、内側へ踏み入るごとにある種の異変を覚え始めます。消息を絶った夫の生死がどうなったのかという気掛かりに加えて、点在している古代遺跡の異質さが目を惹くようになっていきます。また本作では遭遇したパズルやその解法に関するヒントであったり、先行した調査隊の記録など、島でオブジェクトを見つけるごとに自動でノラが手記に記録していくのですが、その記録内容も徐々に不穏なものへ変わっていきます。夫達の身に一体何が起きたのか「間接的に」知っていくという物語の展開には、先を知りたいのに情報が得られないというもどかしさもあり、かなり惹き付けられるものがありました。

 美しさの中に滲み出す不穏な空気は聴覚によっても助長されます。Eduardo de la Iglesiaさんが作曲したサウンドトラックは綺麗な音色が流れているときもあれば、荘厳な曲調になったり、急に変調する不気味さの漂うものもあって、本作の雰囲気を上手く表現されています。そこに降りしきる雨だったり、打ち付ける波風のような環境音もあって、単独で孤島に上陸している状況を強く印象付け、プレイヤーの感情を煽ることができていると思います。

 島での行動はノラが単独で行い、何かを見つけるごとに独り言をつぶやくというスタイルになっています。言わば本作の大半はノラの独り言で構成されているため、その部分の説得力に欠けると作品全体の質に影響することになります。その点において、ノラ役を演じるシシー・ジョーンズさんの起用は正解だったと思います。Firewatchのデリラで表現されていた情緒溢れる物言いは本作でも健在で、ノラというキャラクターに存在感を与えていました。「聞いていてすごく落ち着く声」なので、不気味さとのバランスを取る意味でも上手く機能していた感があります。


 ゲームとしての遊びやすさという点においては、進行度によって移動できる範囲が限られるため、パズル自体はその場の情報によって解が導かれるものばかりです。ですが、そのヒントは細かく調べないと見失ってしまうこともあり、パズルゲームが苦手だと少し詰まってしまうところもあるかもしれません。現に私は何度か行き詰まりました。
 一方で、いつでもクリアしたチャプターに戻ることができ、チャプターセレクト画面で取り逃した要素が明示されていた点はありがたかったです。ノラが調べたオブジェクトによって手記を付けるというのは先述しましたが、その埋まり具合などが実績に関与していたため、取り逃した要素のために一からプレイし直すような煩わしさはありませんでした。
 本作はFPS操作で移動を行い、ダッシュ操作もあるにはあるのですが、それなりに島が広いのとダッシュ速度自体がそれほど速くないため、人によっては移動が遅く感じられるかもしれません。

 気になった挙動として、私は240Hzのディスプレイを使用しているのですが、リフレッシュレートを240Hzに設定していると「特定のオブジェクト」を調べたときに音声ファイル(ノラのボイス)が再生されるまで数分以上かかることがありました。場合によってはアプリが再生待ちのまま進行しなくなることもあります。リフレッシュレートを60Hzに設定するとこの問題は一切発生しなかったため、暫定的に回避することはできますが、いちいち設定を直すのが煩わしいので可能なら対処して欲しいと思いました。



 私が本作を手にするために事前情報を仕入れていたわけでもなく、単にストアページのアイキャッチイラストがなんとなく格好良かったから購入した口でした。そして実際にプレイしてみると、そのアイキャッチのイメージイラストと同じような景観が目の前に広がっていました。すごく美しいライティング、綺麗なBGM、謎を呼ぶストーリー。調査隊の足取りを追ううちに、探していた対象が変わって、いつしか疑念が確信に変わっていく。思わず唸ってしまうクライマックス。良かった…。
 アドベンチャー好きで、FPS操作でも酔わない体質ならプレイして損はないです。「Firewatch」のシシー・ジョーンズの演技や映画「The Shape of Water」が好きだった人も是非。

Graphic adventure (with puzzles of medium difficulty) mixed with a walking simulator. It's interesting. The areas are vast and there is no map in the game to orient yourself. I consider this a flaw as it forces you to remember the areas you visited and if you don't play for a few days, well you'll forget where you went. Good graphics and good soundtrack. The narration and endless collection of documents allows you to understand the story very well. Overall grade 8/10

One of the best games you could end 2020 with. Call of the Sea is extremely engaging in all of its aspects. The atmosphere created by the sounds and music makes you enter this world and stay in it along the incredible adventure of Norah.

The characters and the story are well developed, thanks to the different items you find all over the place that give you details of how these characters were and what happened to them. Not to mention the incredible voice acting it has.

The puzzles are varied in their style: from timing to rhythm, memory, and spatial reasoning.

It's a must-play for anyone that enjoys exploration, story-rich, puzzle games.

Если почитать негативные обзоры на Call of the Sea, то игра не очень-то стоящая. Не исключено, что она просто попала ко мне в нужный момент.

Например, я не хочу браться за Obduction и The Witness. Они слишком долгие. Слишком пространные. Там тонны загадок. Поэтому - не сейчас (но может потом). В Call of the Sea всё действие занимает 6-8 часов. И есть разделение на несколько уровней. Каждый уровень - это по сути глава и без того небольшой повести. И это хорошо - спасибо, мне сейчас достаточно.

Или вот, например, What Remains of Edith Finch. Или Draugen. Everybody's Gone To The Rapture. Не хочу симулятор ходьбы. Не откажусь от хотя бы небольшой пищи для размышлений, чтобы не уснуть за одними красивыми видами и пространными диалогами/монологами. В Call of the Sea на каждую главу в основном по 2-3 задачки - хорошо, самое то, мне подходит.

Или Layers of Fear. Observer там. SOMA. Не-не, совсем мимо. Не надо мне всех этих хорроров, скримеров и дичи - мне по жизни и так хватает. У нас тут влияние Лавкрафта в полный рост, а на странице Call of the Sea вообще написано 6+. На самом деле не соглашусь, но вот с ребёнком 8-10 лет в это уже вполне можно играть вместе (хотя лучше сначала пройти самому и решить - пара резких моментов всё же есть). Но и взрослому мне неожиданные находки в избитой тематике - понравились.

Некоторые считают, что главная героиня много говорит (ха-ха, в Oxenfree поиграйте). Другим не понравились концовки (а мне понравились обе). Третьим не зашла немного наивная любовная линия (возможно вы не поверите, это удивительно, но люди могут любить искренне и красиво).

Четвёртые, пятые, пятидесятые. А мне всё ОК. Вопрос момента.

I'm kind of an idiot and this hit that sweet spot for puzzle games where I didn't have to google anything but it was still challenging. Maybe slightly too easy, considering I'm dumb as hell. Would have been nice if some of Norah's hint dialog only got triggered after so many minutes of trying instead of her just blurting out what she needs to do the instant you see the puzzle.

Way better story than some other puzzle games though. Overall this was a good time.

Not a long game. Took me 7 hours steam says. None of the puzzles are complex or difficult but they do make you think just enough to feel like you accomplished something. And if you're not a puzzle master you'll probably get the puzzles just fine without being frustrated or needing a walk-through. The story is really good. Play it for the story.

The best thing by far about Call of the Sea is its approach to puzzles. Unlike many adventure puzzle games where you're either trying to make literally any sense of a completely opaque set of machines and/or inventory items, or others where the "puzzles" are really just about finding the One Important Clue That Solves the Puzzle in some hidden spot on the map, Call of the Sea does this really cool thing where it "freely" gives you absolutely all the INFORMATION you need -- all the ancient symbols are translated for you in the notes of the expedition whose trail you're following, for instance -- but it tells you nothing about what to DO with that information. So the puzzles are like, I understand exactly how this machine works and what each button represents, but now I have to actually-think-as-the-player about what my goal in manipulating it is.

In that way it's much closer to, like, puzzle-hunt-style puzzles than the vast majority of games I've played, and I found it really refreshing. Nothing was so difficult that I actually got stuck on it, but every single puzzle made me stop and review my notes and just THINK for a minute or two, and I absolutely loved it.

(Also the game is gorgeous, and I enjoyed its take on "what if Lovecraftian cosmic horror but the protagonist was actually super into it?" The dialogue writing is pretty ham-handed, but the overall story and vocal performances are both solid.)

I give this game a somewhat soft yes.

The atmosphere is pretty nice, the visuals are pretty beautiful, a reminder that good visuals are a result of direction, not pixel count or texture fidelity. Filters and effects can pull a lot of weight. Game never felt heavy either, kind of like sea of thieves.

I'd play more games in this setting. Yes, I am aware, ha ha miskatonic. 1930s stuff just has a certain degree of class, you know? "Good old days" type stuff.

Puzzles were okay or fine. Nothing too difficult, but some of them required a lot of walking around to assemble all the parts. Neat for exploring the areas, but if you need to backtrack to adjust some levers or whatever the slow movement speed gets annoying. They were more like speed bumps to slow you down and make you look at the scenery rather than any real challenge. When I had issues figuring out what the game wanted of me, things got a bit frustrating. Only happened a couple times, though, mostly with overthinking puzzles.

Story was somewhat basic, but moderately well executed. Island expedition, hidden secrets, usual stuff. The characters (where they existed) seemed fine. The writing was functional. It got across the story beats and the relationship between the couple pretty well. I got the sense that they cared about each other, which some other games fail to manage. I felt like the monologue at the end wasn't that good. It was a big story point and likely very challenging to write, so I'm not especially surprised they didn't pull it off.

Also, the protagonist is supposed to be super sickly, but very little in the gameplay conveys this to the player in the first bit of the game. You move as slow as you do in the rest of the game, even though you're supposed to have major issues getting around due to illness. Even when the protagonist exclaims how good she feels, she moves as slowly. No getting tired out and having to take a break, no panting, no nothing. You forget she was bedridden before the events of the game.

BINARY ENDING MADE ME UNHAPPY. I'm railroaded through a linear series of puzzles all game and at the end they throw a "which door do you want to go through" ending selector. Not even the common courtesy to create a save right before the ending, either. I'm not playing the last chapter again to get the second ending. The puzzles (simple but a tad tedious) and how the game handles (slow movement) doesn't make for a good experience the second time round.

Voice acting was meh/bad. Main character also didn't do that well in the final monologue. Kinda fell flat imo. It was serviceable, but given the loneliness of the game her voice HAS to carry the game. I don't think she did that well. There should have been better sound engineering with the soundtrack or environmental effects to help prop up her voice.

ACCENTS WERE STRAIGHT TRASH.
The main character sounded like a american person trying to do a transatlantic accent and failing, slipping in and out of a mediocre british accent mid-sentence. The husband sounded like a british person trying to do a translantic accent and failing, sounding more like a weird american. If you see british period pieces on television much you can pick these guys out from a mile away. I get that the transatlantic accent is dead (its a 1900s-1960s radio television accent that was standardized across american media of the time. It's very particular an noone really speaks it anymore) but this showing is kinda pathetic. Either get voice talent that can handle tough orders like transatlantic accents, or stay out of the setting. It sounds very bad when you attempt it and fail.

Native/local guy sounded like a american/european person trying to do their image of a pacific islander accent. Maybe i'm wrong, but it has a couple tells in how the pronunciation seems filtered through a fluency in english or another romance/romance lineage language. It's jarring, and if I was a muckraking games journo with no soul I would possibly say how problematic it is. I'm not, so I'll just call it poor execution. Whoever managed the voice acting needs to get language specialists in for this sort of work or get gud. It's worth the billable hours, if only to get pedants like me off your back.

A couple nitpicks;
There's a weapon case with a exploded drawing of a shotgun, labeled Winchester M12. This of course referring to the Winchester Model of 1912. There are times when such a firearm would be called a Model 12, and there are times when such a firearm would be called a M1912. However, there is absolutely no occasion in the setting in which the game takes place that a Winchester 1912 would be called a M12. It's anachronistic. Shortened year designations came into vogue somewhere past the 1940s, probably after the americans started running around the world with all manner of M1s and M2s and M3s. It's bad flavor and shows the difficulty of trying to make a setting that takes place in the past.

The schematic image seems to be of the right gun, but it also shows a bayonet (cut off on the right of the image ingame) and a sling attached. Whose schematic for a firearm (probably patent drawings) is going to also show the accouterments? There is no cutout for either of these things in the gun case. Also, why are there cutouts for individual shells instead of a cutout for a box of shells? Even if we accept that in this particular case the decision was made to give spots for individual shells, there should be vertical holes instead of cylindrical cutouts. If you have such special ammunition that you need to keep them individually separated in the case, you'd want the walls of the shell to be supported instead of out in the open where they could get squished and jostled. Yes, yes, visual clarity, whatever. But period piece flavor comes from the pursuit of aesthetic authenticity, not from merely looking immediately identifiable to the casual observer.

On a more technical note, the icons that pop up when you move over an interactable item are too precise. You have to be directly over them sometimes before they pop up. For example, I was looking at a microscope that I wanted to interact with. I was centered over the middle of the microscope, and nothing happened. After being stuck and moving around for a bit, I accidentally went up right next to the microscope and found the interaction icon inside the viewfinder. Why did I specifically have to look at the viewfinder of the microscope to use it? In another situation, I had issues interacting with a ladder. Because the ladder was on a slanted surface, the interact icon was only at head height once i was right next to it. From a couple feet away, the interact icon was above my head because the person placing that icon didn't account for the player being at a different height due to the slanted surface.

No bugs or gamebreaking freezes, though.

Overall. A pretty well made solid game with no major faults. It isn't bad if you like this sort of thing, but don't expect to enjoy playing it more than once. I'm of middling intellegence/smartness/brainspeed/thinkthinkfastfast and I took about 7 hours to complete.

Nevermind, actually, 100% get it. Devs should be rewarded financially for games that aren't trash or riffled with microtransactions or insanely buggy. This game is pretty good, full stop. They should get money so they can make more pretty good games.

那句老话,游戏名字和介绍没有带克苏鲁的克苏鲁游戏才是好的克苏鲁游戏。(天啊我一句话居然带了三个克苏鲁)
标标准准的克苏鲁风格的故事,但没有大量的惊悚血腥要素,画面精美,气氛营造十分优秀,音效和音乐简直神了(强烈推荐带耳机玩)。
解谜方面大部分都还中规中矩,有一两个谜题过与绕弯和过于冗长。
总的来说整个游戏过程就是体验了一个在克苏鲁式世界观下发生的发生的一个浪漫故事,完整,优美,值得回味。
总之就是强烈推荐。

Coup de coeur de cette fin d'année 2020.
Ce jeu mérite d'avoir un peu plus de visibilité sur steam car l'histoire est super !
D'habitude je ne suis pas du genre a lire les notes dans les jeux mais là je me suis régalé.
Il faut a peu près 6h de jeu pour finir l'histoire.
Si vous aimez les jeux d'énigmes et d'aventure, n'hésitez pas !

If you like beautiful puzzle games and Lovecraftian world you probably are going to like it.
However the puzzles are not great designed. They mostly do not respect your time.

You walk around, find clues that get automatically jotted down in the journal and then you just have to put the things inside the journal together. This lead for me to a disconnection of the world and the puzzles - I never really had to think on my own, because I just had to gather all the stuff for the journal and then do a puzzle that had nothing to do with the world.

There are many puzzles where you have to walk a few times between the same locations, while the walking is very slow. At the same time there were some puzzles that were not completely clear because you can understand the hints in different ways. Reading the solution in a guide cleared up the confusion. Which should not be necessary imho.
(Spoiler: I am talking specifically about the tiki puzzle in chapter 2 and the organ puzzle in chapter 3 ).
For me it is not enjoyable mapping symbols to numbers 3 times in my brain - that's not an interesting puzzle to me it just takes some energy and in the end feels kind of like work.

So in the end i stopped playing, although i like the topic and the atmosphere, it's just that the puzzles are very annoying to me.

面白いのに日本語レビューが少なくて悲しいのでレビュー


主人公の病気の治療の手がかりを探しに行った夫が失踪したのでその跡を追いかけて、何かわけありそうな島を探索するというよくある「島の隠された秘密を解き明かせ!」系アドベンチャーゲーム。

ものすごく既視感を感じるあらすじだが、ストーリーはなかなか珍しい方向性でよくできており、グラフィックもかなりきれい。パズルの得手不得手によって変わるが7時間程度でクリアできるので気楽に手を付けられる。ちなみにトロコンは+2時間もあれば可能。

吹き替えはないが日本語字幕の精度もかなり高く違和感を感じたりすることもほぼない。まれに主人公の女性の一人称が「俺」になり逞しく感じたり、夫がいきなり女性らしい言葉遣いで話し出して正気を失ったかと一瞬勘違いする程度。まあ基本独白なので混乱するほどではない。

スクショやPVを見て少しでも興味を持った方、グラフィックは裏切らないしストーリーはいい意味で裏切るから買おう。


良いことばかり言ったので以下気になった点

一部のパズルが結構難しいので人によっては詰む恐れがある。最悪攻略を見ることも視野に入れておく必要も。コミュニティのガイド欄にヒントの外部ページのURLを貼ってくださっている方がいるので、答えは見たくないけどヒントは欲しい場合そっちに行くのもあり。私も大変お世話になりました。ただし英語。

探索中発見し損ねたものがあっても発見した体で話が進むため、重要な伏線を見逃すと後々「あの○○はそういう意味だったのね!」とか言われても「チョットマッテナニソレシラナイ…」となる。ストーリーに関わる重要な発見をすると手帳に書き込まれるため、ページに空白が出来ていないか手帳を確認することで回避可能。クライマックスの伏線回収で一部「…???」となった私と同じ轍を踏まないように。

また歩くのが遅いため走るのが基本になると思われる。まあそれでもまだ遅いんですが。

あと私の環境だけかもしれないがやたらフレームレートが落ちるポイントがある。


まあ総合的に見ればかなりおすすめなのでぜひ。

PC owners beware. Like many others (see discussion thread, `Tips for playing on PC', I've had increasing problems with disappearing or non-functioning hotspots. Due to this I've abandoned the game near the end of chapter 2. Unfortunately Steam tell me I'm not eligible for a refund because I've exceed the game time limit - ironically, due to repeated failed attempts to solve puzzles that involve the said malfunctioning hotspots.
Because of this I can't possibly recommend the game to PC owners (nb I have Windows 10, 64 bit). Even without this problem I found the game a little disappointing due to the fairly simple puzzles. It's great if you want lush visuals and nothing too taxing in the gameplay.

因为我足够爱你,所以我选择站在原地,等你向我走来,亦或转身离去。

存在剧透。

故事的开始是主角诺拉患上了不知名的病征,黑色的斑点布满双手,身子骨也日渐孱弱。而丈夫哈里为了治好诺拉的病,前往某处神秘岛屿寻找医治方法,却在数月后了无音讯。而玩家将扮演诺拉只身前往岛屿,去追寻哈里的踪迹。

游戏的画面运用了高饱和度的色彩,配合具有克系元素的美术风格,使得画面呈现出一个光怪陆离的世界; 画面表现力富有张力的同时,在光照效果充足的情况下甚至会有点晃眼。

本作依靠诺拉的绘本和散落在地图里的线索构建了游戏的解密玩法。 解密逻辑基本上都很考验玩家的图像联想能力,难度因人而异;而游戏里的每章地图并非线性设计,在能随意走动的情况下,谜题从何开始以及线索搜集的完整性反而是更花心思的地方。且行走速度哪怕按住shift键也较为缓慢。

在剧情上,依靠诺拉的自白和哈里一封封未寄出的信推动着剧情的进程, 地图上能探索到的所有物件诺拉都能作出反应,即使在一段稍长无互动的路程里,诺拉也会有阶段性的讲话,哪怕游戏里没有一个人物模型,也能让故事里的每个人物变得更加具体。

正因为这些语音和文本,我们知道了原来诺拉的身体里流淌着可以永生的鱼人血液,是被选召的,是无关人士无法接受的馈赠;强行融入则会被夺取心智陷入癫狂,最终惨死。但诺拉不接受仪式,也同样命不久矣。在诺拉的话语中,我们确实能感觉到在岛上的她是充满活力的。

同样因为这些语音和文本,我们了解到诺拉和哈里是如此的相爱——哈里因为深爱诺拉,哪怕冒险团的成员相继死去或离开,也执意探寻病因的真相。在快知道谜底的时候,竟然说出不惜也变成鱼人的傻话,最终快被强烈欲望夺取心智的他皤然醒悟,毅然没去打开这危险的潘多拉。

而诺拉也深爱这哈里,拖着病怏怏的身子来找失踪的丈夫,每每看到哈里笨拙的草图总会忍俊不禁,在愈发接近真相的同时,话语里透露出对哈里安危的迫切担忧。 诺拉是如此的了解哈里,所以立马揭穿了故事最后的“骗局“——是否接受自己可以成为鱼人永生的命运?

如同强大最好的证明不是破坏而是守护,那哈里对诺拉的爱是不是也可以称为伟大——因为我爱你,所以我选择放手,把选择权交付给你,无论你是否选择与我在一起,我都欣然接受。

因为我足够爱你,所以我反抗命运,向你走去。

哈里没有被想拯救诺拉的执念冲昏头脑,对诺拉的爱让哈里保持理智,他依旧没变,还编织起“谎言”,笃定诺拉能轻易戳穿。那我有什么理由让诺拉放弃做人、遗忘思想和感情呢?

故事的最后,灯光下俩人幸福的合影,伴随着真情实感的钢琴弹唱,诺拉的身子终究还是变得更差了...曲未尽,诺拉的咳嗽愈发激烈,哈里满是担心,也抵不过诺拉想把歌唱完的倔强。尽管不是happy ending,哈里孑然一身,终生未再娶,但所幸他们俩拥有最后几年的快乐时光,不是吗?

—————————————————————————————————————————

游戏的整体质量四平八稳,剧情上也存在着纰漏——诡异的克系背景终究只是背景,在后半段的剧情里存在感稍显薄弱,导致第三章的香农号失事显得十分”冤枉和无奈“——香农号的船员们死得不明不白。

但在生活如此糟糕的现实世界里,疫情迫使人们通过网络输出越来越多各种各样的情绪和观点,如同红色般热情但又充满危险。而游戏里诺拉和哈里的故事,就像游戏里所说”现实生活里,各色爱情故事不会止于结婚典礼,葬礼才是这些故事最终的结局“一样,再次提醒了我,仍存在着一种感情状态,没有轰轰烈烈,没有视死如归,彼此靠近,相互陪伴,逃离镜头,满眼是你。

如同温暖闪耀的金色,为爱永恒。

«Нервы мои были на пределе, меня охватило некое извращённое, необъяснимое рвение, и я шёл к цели под светом яркой, зловещей луны. Там я увидел первобытные, циклопические блоки - творения безымянных, забытых эпох. Безмерная старость и угрюмая мрачность этого места давили на меня как никогда раньше, и я не мог увести свои мысли от сводящих с ума снов, и от пугающих легенд, которые аборигены связывали с руинами. И всё равно я брёл вперёд, словно стремясь к месту некоей сверхъестественной встречи, всё плотнее окружённый поразительными наваждениями, влечениями и псевдо-воспоминаниями. Одна только идея внезапного, одинокого спуска в эту неизведанную бездну, да ещё в ситуации, когда о моём местонахождении не знала ни одна живая душа, была совершеннейшим верхом безумия. Но снова, как и раньше, меня манил вперёд и прокладывал мне путь неизбежный рок».

Эта сокращённая цитата из повести Г.Ф. Лавкрафта «За гранью времён» могла бы послужить превосходным вступлением к «Зову моря» - красивой, трогательной истории о познании, принятии и любви.

Есть ли в мире хтонических ужасов место для любви?Коллектив студии Out of the Blue уверен, что есть. Режиссёр игры Татьяна Дельгадо смело заявляет: «Большинство историй Лавкрафта - это нисхождение в безумие. Наша - восхождение к душевному равновесию».

Но обо всём по порядку.

История Норы Эверхарт начинается в каюте корабля, везущего её в сторону крохотного острова в сердце Тихого океана. 23 октября 1934 года она села на пароход в Сан-Франциско и отправилась во Французскую Полинезию. Сойдя на берег в порту Таити Нора принялась искать следы пропавшей научной экспедиции своего мужа. Она выяснила, что в 74 милях к востоку находится остров с чрезвычайно дурной репутацией...

«Зов моря» - это головоломка от первого лица. Таким играм чрезвычайно сложно добиться осязаемого реализма. Если это не сон, не кома, не абстракция, не виртуальная реальность, не испытательный полигон безумного робота, тогда что? В каких ещё ситуациях человек может проходить через целый ряд причудливых загадок? Прекрасный вариант - руины древней цивилизации. Странные сакральные сооружения, в которые могут войти лишь посвящённые.

Местные пазлы хорошо подошли бы тесту на уровень языкового интеллекта. Они проверяют ассоциативную память и индуктивные способности. Игрок должен распознавать функции разнообразных знаков, выводить правила и закономерности внутри знаковых структур и применять их на практике.

Принципиально важно, что все головоломки интегрированы в окружающий мир.

Во-первых, это объясняет, почему великие тайны древних может без труда разгадать ученик средней школы. Эти самые древние не пытались искусственно усложнить себе жизнь. Лишь наше невежество превращает этот остров в запертую на все замки крепость.

Во-вторых, игровые загадки являются неотъемлемой частью сюжета. Каждая маленькая победа приближает Нору к раскрытию тайн острова, подчиняющегося своей внутренней логике. Проблема же экспедиции Харри Эверхарта заключалась в том, что они пытались остров не понять, а взломать. В самом начале игры мы натыкаемся на головоломку, которую они не смогли решить и поэтому сделали то, о чём мечтали много раз все любители этого жанра - взорвали динамитом.

Экспедиция Эверхарта разыграла на острове классическую сессию настольной игры «Зов Ктулху». События развивались по сценарию считалочки про 10 негритят. Тень безымянного ужаса висела над древними руинами. Неведомое, скользкое зло таилось в воде. Люди разрывались между мучительным желанием обратиться в бегство и лихорадочным любопытством, а всё предприятие окружала атмосфера рокового безрассудства.

Узнаём мы обо всём этом, потому что наши предшественники очень любезно оставили после себя целый музей повествовательных клише. На каждом углу лежат дневники и записки. Люди пишут о своих планах, идеях, начинаниях, об отношении друг к другу, дружбе и конфликтах. Даже в 30-е годы нашлись умельцы, готовые делать фотографии в любых обстоятельствах. Даже самые критичные и трагичные моменты удалось заснять на плёнку. Не забывайте и о аудио-записях, в которых диалоги и споры постоянно прерываются важными событиями. Книги, инструкции, вырезки, брошюры разбросаны повсюду в художественном беспорядке.

В самих клише нет ничего хорошего или плохого. Важно то, как они используются. «Зов моря» работает с ними чрезвычайно старательно. Характеры персонажей качественно раскрываются - самовлюблённый голливудский каскадёр, увлечённый инженер, жадная до сенсаций журналистка. Великое множество уникальных деталей и тщательно проработанных предметов, поистине огромное количество превосходно нарисованных фотографий (нарисованные фотографии - какая прелесть!) погружают нас в богатый и интригующий мир игры.

Собственно, её продаёт уже один только постер. Взволнованная, голубоглазая красавица в практичном, но элегантном платье, с идеальной для 1930-х прической из кудрей и завитков, держит в руках главное оружие любого героя-интеллигента - книгу. Вокруг волнуются джунгли. И вся сцена нарисована от руки, реалистично, но слегка стилизованно, напоминая об обложках довоенных бульварных журналов.

Игра выдерживает этот самый стиль безупречно. Живая тишина и пышная красота джунглей очаровывает и успокаивает. Но только до поры до времени. От грандиозных мегалитических сооружений за версту несёт мрачными, нечеловеческими тайнами. Солнце садится, с моря налетают тучи, и волны бьются о безобразные, черные скалы.

Однако, когда игроки уже морально готовы окунуться в пучину ночных кошмаров и предвкушают грядущую непроглядную хтонь, героиня заявляет, что... не чувствует страха! Наоборот, она ощущает невероятный прилив сил и полна энтузиазма. Может быть, это нездоровый энтузиазм обречённости, спросите вы со сдержанным оптимизмом? Вовсе нет.

«Зов моря» берёт любимые темы Лавкрафта и переворачивает их с ног на голову.

Нора болеет неизвестной науке болезнью. Носит перчатки, чтобы скрыть уродливую пигментацию на руках. И ей снятся пугающие сны, столь же невероятные, сколь и реалистичные. Вот она - идея двойничества, страх разрушения своего Я, отвращение к предавшему тебя телу. Что если что-то чуждое и мерзкое кроется не в каком-то тёмном углу, а внутри самого человека? Подобные вещи у Лавкрафта никогда к добру не приводят. Однако, в данном случае трансформация оказывается средством выживания и лучом надежды.

У Лавкрафта человек сходит с ума, неспособный принять истинную природу мироздания. Когда же изумление Норы сходит на нет, когда отступает страх перед неизвестностью, она начинает изучать чудеса и премудрости космоса. Потому что для пытливых умов раскрытие тайн и загадок есть высшая степень наслаждения бытием.

К тому же Норой движет бесконечная любовь к своему мужу. Так же как он решил рискнуть всем, чтобы отыскать лекарство от её болезни, она готова пойти на всё, чтобы спасти ему жизнь. Это прекрасная романтическая история о тихой, спокойной и непоколебимой любви двух зрелых людей - опытных супругов, которые обращаются друг к другу «my dear old pal» и не представляют жизни без своего лучшего друга.

«Все мои истории основаны на фундаментальной предпосылке о том, что простые человеческие законы, интересы и эмоции не имеют никакого смысла или значимости в безбрежной бездне космоса. Для меня примитивность человека, убогость его страстей, условностей и норм, поданных как естественные для других миров или других вселенных, выглядит не более чем ребячество», - писал Лавкрафт.

Интересно, как бы он оценил подобную «профанацию» его идей. Столкновение с неведомым возбуждает жгучий интерес, а смертельная опасность в основном исходит от самого человека, ослеплённого страхом и глупостью.

«Зов моря» - это оптимистичный, сентиментальный, антропоцентрический взгляд на Лавкрафта. И когда игра говорит «Так давайте окунемся вглубь черной бездны и там обретем вечную жизнь, окруженные всевозможными чудесами и славой. Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!», она делает это искренне и от души.

Больше слов!

주인공 노라가 남편 해리를 찾기 위해 섬으로 모험을 떠나는 미스테리 퍼즐 어드벤쳐 게임 사랑 이야기! 더 룸 시리즈를 즐기셨다면 이 게임을 추천드려요. 몽환적인 그래픽과 한글화도 되어있으며 연출도 괜찮아서 후반까지 재밌게 놀았습니다. 게임 앤딩은 두가지인데 저장을 하고 마지막 선택을 하시면 바로 다른 앤딩도 볼 수 있어 편하고 좋았어요. 조금 아쉬웠던 부분은 필요한 단서가 노트의 기록되는데 단서를 제대로 다 모으면 문제 없이 퍼즐을 풀수 있지만 노트의 빈 공간들을 꼭 채워야만 퍼즐을 풀수있고 스토리를 진행할수 있어요.

I miss you, my dear old pal<3

En cuanto nos adentramos en la isla comenzaremos una aventura narrativa de exploración dónde la resolución de cada acertijo será fundamental para conocer aún más toda la historia. Puede que en ocasiones nos haga dudar de cómo ha surgido todo o que hacemos ahí en realidad, pero tienes que tener en cuenta que todo lo que te rodea es importante, por lo que no olvides prestar atención a tu alrededor y observar cada detalle. A lo largo de la isla descubriremos diversos campamentos ♥♥♥ cartas, imágenes, relatos, incluso una radio, que nos permitirá conocer a cada uno de los miembros de la tripulación, además de los sucesos que ocurrieron meses atrás. Estará compuesto por una narración asombrosa de Norah, ♥♥♥ diálogos en los que nunca nos revelará nada ni tampoco nos sentiremos abrumados ♥♥♥ mucha información.

Al igual que es importante observar todo lo que nos rodea para conocer la historia, inspeccionar e interactuar ♥♥♥ todo para completar los acertijos será fundamental. Norah llevará consigo un diario, que además de ir completando cada relato de la historia también tendrá un apartado de pistas dónde dibujará pequeños símbolos para facilitarnos la progresión de cada puzle. La dificultad es uno de los motivos por los que el juego se te puede hacer un poco cuesta arriba y no comprender que es lo que hay que hacer realmente para avanzar. Puede que encontrar todas las pistas conduzca a la respuesta, pero cuando todo gira en un entorno complicado y ♥♥♥ detalles que no terminas de entender, la dificultad sin duda aumenta sin esperarlo.

Sin lugar a dudas su estilo visual es verdaderamente impresionante ♥♥♥ colores muy vibrantes. Consideramos que si su universo no hubiese estado plasmado ♥♥♥ tanto detalle, su narrativa no hubiese destacado de la misma manera. Construye una isla que al avanzar por ella en primera persona tiene una inmersión impresionante, ya que entendieron a la perfección todo lo que querían transmitir. Desde paisajes paradisíacos, a grandes catástrofes, a un universo submarino en el que te sumerges y quedarás plasmado ♥♥♥ todo su entorno. Es cierto que el diseño de cada nivel te ayuda a querer explorarlo aún más, pese a que la relación entre ellos a veces carece de enlace y puede confundirnos ♥♥♥ la orientación y ♥♥♥ la historia. Si en alguna ocasión te ves perdido o atascado en algún puzle, quédate parado y disfruta de cada paisaje que te presentan.

Call of the Sea es una delicia de videojuego independiente. Han sabido escoger cada herramienta para crear una aventura de exploración, misterio y ♥♥♥ una variedad de puzle que sin duda te deja enganchado desde que te adentras en esta historia de amor y suspense. Tanto la narración, como los entornos y su sonido ambiente es muy inmersivo, y finalmente conseguirás hacerte compañero de Norah en este entrañable viaje a una isla desconocida. Es cierto que la falta de explicación de ciertos puzles te hará estar confuso, al igual que el tránsito de un nivel a otro, pero estos pequeños detalles no modificarán el poder vivir una gran experiencia en este relato sobrenatural. Cada detalle está bien cuidado y cuando tengas oportunidad disfruta del universo submarino que en ocasiones podrás viajar. Tanto si eres amante como si no de este género no dudes en darle una oportunidad.

I immediately thought of Peter Jackson's King Kong movie when I saw the trailer. I always wanted a chance to explore "Skull Island", to venture deep into the island, uncovering a horrifying secret that had been dormant for aeons. Call of the Sea managed to deliver just that, but instead of a 30-meter tall gorilla, a more ominous presence towers over this island.

The measure of love is to love without measure
What is unconditional love, and how far will someone go for their old friend? These themes reside at the heart of Call of the Sea. Aside from the remarkably fleshed-out relationship of Harry and Nora, there is also a decent Indiana Jones-like mystery. I'll refrain from talking about it, lest I reveal potentially classified information. Overall, it's a solid mystery/love story with good character development and pacing, all wrapped up in a satisfying ending.

With that said, there is one issue - predictability. Around the halfway point, you'll have a solid idea of what's in store for you. However, since the execution was fine, I didn't mind as much, but you may be less forgiving.

Adventure awaits! Huzzah!
You only have one mission - find Harry. There are no objective markers, no quest logs, no minimaps. As soon as you dock on the island, you're on your own. There are, of course, closed off paths, but there isn't anything pointing you in a particular direction. While yes, puzzles unlock the way forward, I spent the bulk of my playtime exploring this beautifully crafted island. Because of this, I look at Call of the Sea as an adventure game first and a puzzle game second.

And the puzzles are the main reason for my saying "adventure game first, puzzle game second". Call of the Sea only has pattern-based puzzles, so exploration always takes precedence over puzzle-solving, as you can't progress if you dont explore and find the solution (technically, you can - brute force). These patterns are usually plastered somewhere in the open or hidden in one of the thousand crumpled notes. While the puzzles vary in design, which I appreciate, relying on this single concept can make puzzles feel tedious at times. I would have loved if they mixed in some logic-based puzzles as well, throwing you out of the already established loop (explore -> find pattern -> profit).

Each time you examine something, Nora writes it down in her journal. It may be a part of a puzzle solution or just extra information expanding the side character and the state of Harry's crew as they traversed the island. Whatever it is, you need not worry if you forget it, as Nora has your back.

The journal is a nifty tool that lets you know if more exploring is needed or not. It makes sure you aren't stuck trying to do a puzzle with a partial solution. But, some may also consider this hand-holding a negative.

I also had only one truly negative experience during my entire playtime, and it was solving a single puzzle that disregarded a previously established rule. Let me explain. The puzzles always show you visual changes, so you know how you affect them when interacting with them. Simple, right? But then, for whatever reason, this particular puzzle throws this out the window. It made solving it more tedious and "challenging". If more puzzles followed the same principle, there would be no problem. But, this is the only puzzle in the entire game that does this. It's not even at the end of the game, more like at its midpoint.

But did I enjoy my stay at the Key Island?

Yes. Yes I did. I attribute this to the game focusing more on exploration. So if you are anything like me and always dreamed of exploring your very own Skull Island, Call of the Sea may potentially satisfy thy needs.

Cartoonish-realism
Even tho the game uses Unreal Engine, the graphic style is stark, going for a more cartoonish aesthetic but still keeping it realistic. I especially loved how each level has a distinct colour pallet, making the locations pop. From the giant wrecked whaling ship to the homes and belongings of the island natives, almost every inch of the game oozed immense attention to detail. And I say almost because there was one disappointing area; A couple of rooms, stone pillars, arches here and there, rather lacklustre when compared to the other levels.

Each level has a unique design, is extremely detailed and full of objects to examine, making exploring a joy.

The two leads, voicing Harry and Nora, complement each other well and offer a convincing portrayal of two people who will go to any length for one another. The soundtrack is also sublime. It manages to capture that "mysterious uncharted island" feel, even delivering that grandiose score as you witness something majestic.

Final Thoughts
Clever puzzles, beautiful graphics and a sublime soundtrack create a canvas painted on by an engaging story about unconditional love and sacrifice. The end result - Call of the Sea.

I'd only recommend this game if you enjoy spatial/mechanical puzzles, because that's the only kind you'll find here - no logical deductions, no solving of mysteries, just moving/rotating elements of the world to align with patterns and inscriptions. The landscape is very pretty and the story is genuinely intriguing, but I found most of the puzzles tedious. The constant expository comments also took me out of the experience somewhat (at one point Norah actually says 'exposition' instead of 'expedition' - Freudian slip?). The gameplay is a bit clunky (long walking distances, awkward ladder climbing, cursor blending into surroundings, lack of clarity in what you're meant to achieve). If you're super into Lovecraft and rotating objects in your mind, go for it, otherwise I'm not convinced this game's strengths are enough to compete with its weaknesses.

I picked up this game because I signed up for a female-led mystery adventure game with some puzzles. What I did not expect is that by the end I would be ugly-crying at the culmination of a tragic love story that left me more destroyed than the opening of the film "Up." Absolutely give this a play, the game is respectful of your time and the puzzles aren't punishing (you're not going to accidentally lock yourself out of progressing, and the chapter selection is generous in letting your collected notes persist so you can go back to hunt achievements). I don't want to give away too much, but by the time you start recognizing references, it's already turning the tropes on their head. Strongly recommend, wish I could re-experience playing it through the first time again, so I'll settle for evangelizing others to play it!

This is by not what I would call a bad game, but I would not recommend it. It has some very good elements, but the good in the game is undercut by parts it got wrong, both in aspects of puzzle and in adventure.

The puzzles themselves are pretty good. Varying in complexity and type, and they all had logical solutions that I never had to guess at. But the experience of figuring out the puzzles was undone both by the protagonist pointing out that something was a clue whenever I saw one and, to a greater extent, the notebook automatically connecting clues for me. The idea of a notebook that can store clues in-game is great, but there was a puzzle mid-way through the game that involved combining symbols, and just by reading the papers in the surrounding campsite, the notebook filled in all the intermediate steps of the puzzle for me, leaving me to just enter the final combination. I was very disappointed I didn't have the opportunity to figure it out for myself. The best puzzle experience I had in the game was at the very beginning where the character mentioned that a series of totems looked like they told a story. Nothing else was mentioned, and I enjoyed taking the time to consider what kind of story the pictograms were telling. (The ship level was enjoyable too, for a similar reason.)

In terms of adventure, the game features fantastic environments and a decent story. But every time I entered a new area, before I had the chance to take it in, the protagonist would remark on how awestruck she was, and it broke me out of the moment. I didn't have time to experience awe for myself, I was just observing someone else who was. Among all the environments of this game, the only time I felt a sense of intrigue and discovery was over a strange feature of architecture in the latter game. And it had the power to illicit those feelings because the game never pointed it out; I discovered it myself.

The notebook and protagonist were solid ideas, but applied too thickly. Less would have been more. As it is, the game felt less like going on an adventure, and more like someone else going on an adventure and telling me about it.

Call of the puzzle

Call of the Sea is a pleasant surprise and in my opinion a very underrated (or maybe overlooked) game.
From the first sight this game looks like a walking simulator but it's far from it. Yes you need to walk around a lot but it has plenty of puzzles and simply is a first person point&click/puzzle game.

You pack your things and go onto an island and start solving the mystery. The island is vast and beautiful. You explore a new level on each chapter and each level offers vastly different environments and atmosphere. The game gets darker and darker with time. What seems just an adventure on a beautiful island turns out into messed up situation pretty quickly.

Gameplay is very straightforward but fun. You inspect objects, structures and read letters, lots of letters and messages which either tell a story or serve as clues for the puzzles. To solve the puzzles you first collect the clues and when you have enough you can start figuring out the puzzle solutions.
Some puzzles are pretty easy but a lot fo them are really challenging and fun. You need to think a lot, pay attention to every little detail out there and take time to think how to solve everything.

While puzzles are designed well, majority of them have the same idea behind them. That doesn't mean that if you solve one you will easily solve all of them. Puzzles are very similar but with different solutions which you still need to figure out each time.
I personally would prefer more variety in puzzles. Now it mostly comes to getting the symbols right.
There's a lot of exploration which rewards you with lore and you learn what is actually happening. The game also has two endings so don't forget to save towards the end of the game.

For achievement hunters it's an easy but a bit annoying 100%. Fortunately the game has chapter select which makes it easier but due to slow walking speed, wondering around looking for collectibles might be painful.

Graphically the game looks fantastic and is very pleasant to the eye. You don't have any character models – all of them appear only in photos or drawings but surroundings look perfect. I have zero complaints. Every area, every corner of the game looks great and has lots of details.

Performance is great and there's native ultrawide support. Played on 5800x, rtx3080, 32GB @3440x1440. Game ran smooth as silk from start to finish.

Sound design is good starting with music which fits the narrative very well and ending with voice acting which also is well done.

Overall a good adventure game with captivating story, beautiful locations and challenging puzzles. If you're a fan of puzzle game then go add it to your cart or wishlist at least.

Pros
  • Looks beautiful
  • Good story
  • Level variety
  • Good puzzles
  • Good sound design
  • Native ultrawide support
♥♥♥♥
  • Mostly same type of puzzles
  • Walking/running speed is a bit too slow

前言!
《Call of the Sea》是一款克苏鲁神话题材的上佳解谜游戏。结合整个游戏的方方面面来看,故事性,音乐,画面,语音都不错。不同于传统的密室解谜,在本作中,解谜的过程几乎都是在开放的空间中进行,玩家经常需要猜想下一步应该做什么,依靠自己的直觉与思维才能找到线索走到下一步。也正因为游戏的全程几乎都是在开放环境中进行,才更让人有身临其境的冒险感。

体验!
游戏的场景做得非常好,美丽的小岛,物品的细节,不同环境的光线,乃至森林大海,有时会让人叹为观止。墙上的壁画和造字也很有意思。多数的画面鲜艳明亮,氛围感制造的非常恰当,光线和音效再加上第一人称视角,表现得更像是一款探索冒险游戏,没有压迫感。

克苏鲁神话常常会带给人未知的恐怖,这款游戏也有一些值得深思的恐惧内涵。

游戏的故事讲述的是女主角去小岛找寻自己失踪的老公下落,剧情方面着重描述了女主角与丈夫之间的感情,随着女主角追寻丈夫的脚步,让玩家感受到他们彼此的情感。

每个关卡都有独特的设计,细节极其丰富,并且充满了解谜的物品,使探索成为一种乐趣。 游戏中与每件物品的互动都有语音解析,旋转物品还有部份照片的后面是有文字的。女主角走到部分场景还有语音独白,方便玩家知道女主角的想法或填充故事内容。整体代入感的塑造非常好,女主角的丰富感情也通过语音表达出了出来。游戏的第六章最后那一段无法奔跑,慢慢的走,然后揭开真相,那段剧情和语音都是整个游戏的高潮所在。

游戏的最后竟然存在两个结局,根据不同的选择会导致不同的结局走向,剧情也有点小不同,都值得一看。最后的职员表名单,女主角的歌声真好听。

在不看攻略的第一轮通关,无论怎样细致应该都会有一些漏掉的地方。通关后就可以选择单个章节重新再玩,己收集的日记和线索并不会消失,可以很方便的去收集全成就,探索新内容。

结语!
游戏为我们阐述了爱人之间什么是牺牲与无私奉献的爱,故事情节引人入胜。巧妙的谜题,精美的画面与上佳的配乐营造出了一幅美丽的小岛画卷。配音会激发你的情感与同理心。本作值得你冒险。

Bulmacalar biraz fazla muğlak ama şimdiye dek oynadığım en iyi Lovecraft oyunu. (Lovecraft'in baş kahramanı kadın olan hiçbir öyküsü yoktur, bu açıdan daha bir manidar.) Seslendirmeler nefis, ses kurgusu müthiş, göndermeler leziz. Orijinal King Kong filmini sevenlere de şiddetle öneriyorum. (Oyunda dev goril yok, yanlış anlaşılmasın.) Ayrıca teknik bakımdan jilet gibi. İlk oyununu yapan bir stüdyodan çıkmış demezsin, o kadar iyi. Sanat yönetiminde titizlik her şeydir, bu oyun da kanıtı.

Follow our curator page: IndieGems if you like and want to see more reviews like this one.

Call of the Sea is a first-person adventure with excellent presentation and interesting combination of story and puzzles to keep the player engaged for the entire journey. In short, this game is absolutely amazing, and if you want to stop reading there, just know that it's a worthwhile adventure.

Strengths
Story: Play from a first-person perspective of Norah Everhart as she pursues this adventure in search of her husband, and discovers the truth behind her life-long illness in the process. With a Lovecraft-inspired theme filled with mystery and unknown, Norah comes closer to the truth every step along the way. Beyond the theme, the style of introspection, wonder, followed by self-reflexive acknowledgement and acceptance help to hold the game together really well.

Character Development: It's lovely to see a game with such fleshed out characters. Not just our protagonist Norah but also her husband Harry, who we mostly get to know from her self-musings and observations during her journey, and some letters that he has left for her. She's an intelligent, determined, caring, and loving individual with whom the player truly bonds. He just wants to help cure her illness.

Visuals: Undoubtedly you have already seen some of the amazing mixture of artwork and colors arranged for this game by the time you are coming to read the reviews. Everything looks absolutely amazing and fits into the game's other aspects superbly. I haven't posted this many screenshots in such a short amount of time in a long time.

Puzzles: The puzzles are moderate difficulty in design, with clues to their solutions to be found through exploration. The game does make the puzzles a lot easier by noting in a journal almost everything needed to solve the puzzles. The player can open the journal mid-puzzle to look at the important notes if necessary to progress. There are not a ton of puzzles to this game, only a couple of major ones barring the path from one chapter to the next, but they are well-designed and fun to solve.

Audio: The sound effects really puts the player in Norah's shoes, everywhere she goes and everything she does, the sound effects help to bring the atmosphere alive. The music evokes wonder, discovery, amazement, but also frustration, loss and sadness at the appropriate times in subtle but effective places. The excellently voice-acted sound bytes as Norah explores the island also convey a lot of emotion to help provoke the player's empathy.

Internal Glue: There is enough mystery to keep the player on his/her toes. There is fascinating story progression to keep the player engaged. Some of the missable achievements help to encourage complete exploration and examination, which aids the player in finding clues to solve some of the seemingly wild puzzles. And it's that same exploration that keeps the player entranced by the visuals and the details. Everything fits together so well to help with the immersive gameplay and for the player to bond with Norah and through her, Harry. Alone she may be on her journey, Norah is always connected to the player, the environment, and the other not-physically-present characters within the game.

This beautiful automatic sequence in Chapter 5 is worth a relook.


Places For Improvement
-So I definitely ran into some sections where immersion breaks a bit, such as a series of objects that are meant to be examined in sequence, but I go on and explore a bit, the come back to look at the items in reverse order. Norah's audible reactions to examining these objects break the intended order. Most of the time it's minor, occasionally she's more reactive and so the emotions do not fit.

-Occasional bugs that are small and usually insignificant. Nothing game breaking.

Other Comments
1. The game works with KB+M or Controller. I had no issues with the controller.

2. I did have to turn off motion blur and maximize the FOV at 100 degrees. You might want to adjust to your liking.

3. $19.99 base price is pretty reasonable given the quality of the game. There are not a ton of puzzles, but they are well designed. If you are super quick on the puzzles, the game may only take 7-8 hours. But it's one of those games that's worth your extra time and attention to explore.

Conclusion
Call of the Sea can be considered a genre-defining work and an example for others to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure and felt attached to Norah that I wished the game to go on for longer.

Score: 9/10

Was kann man über dieses Spiel sagen? Als erstes Mal und in einem Satz: Ich finde es ist der absolute Hammer! :D
1930er Jahre: Man spielt Nora, die es auf der Suche nach ihrem Mann Harry und dessen Expedition auf eine geheimnisvolle Insel im Pazifik verschlägt. Nora ist von einer seltsamen Krankheit befallen und wird von unheilvollen Träumen geplagt. Ihr Mann Harry hatte eine Expedition ins Leben gerufen um für seine Frau ein Heilmittel zu suchen. Schon bald stößt man auf erste Anzeichen über den Verbleib Harrys.
Was dann folgt ist eine wunderschöne, nein atemberaubende Insel mit vielen abwechslungsreichen Biomen. Eines beeindruckender als das Vorangegangene. Also ich finde die Grafik ist schon mal allererste Sahne weil äußerst stilvoll, ebenso der Spielesoundtrack und die übrige Soundkulisse. Die Atmosphäre ist zum schneiden dicht, zieht einen sofort in ihren Bann.
Den Großteil des Spiels erkundet man gemütlich die verschiedenen Gebiete, löst stellenweise knackige Rätsel, sucht nach Hinweisen zu deren Lösung und Tagebucheinträgen. Kämpfe oder Fluchtpassagen gibt es nicht und das ist gut so. Denn so kann man die Atmosphäre in aller Ruhe auf sich einströmen lassen. Auch ist es absolut kein Horrorspiel, eher Puzzle-Abenteuer/Mystery.
Was ich vielleicht noch dazusagen sollte, ich hab das Spiel noch nicht durch, bin ca bei 60% den Errungenschaften nach. (Edit: Bin mittlerweile durch. Dazu mehr im Endfazit) Aber was ich bis dahin erleben durfte, lässt mich aus dem Staunen nicht mehr herauskommen. Ich will unbedingt wissen wie es weitergeht. Das hat den Grund, daß ich ein großer Cthulhu- und Lovecraft-Fan bin. Und da hatte mich das Spiel sofort. An allen Ecken und Enden findet man Hinweise und Anspielungen zu den Geschichten, Kreaturen und Charakteren aus der Feder H.P. Lovecrafts. Ich freue mich immer wenn ich so eine tolle Hommage entdecke. Allerdings ist es schon sehr zu empfehlen, Lovecrafts Erzählungen zu kennen. Sonst entgeht einem viel Atmosphäre und vor allem die Anspielungen.
Also für mich ist dieses Spiel ein wahr gewordener Spiele-Traum. Gerade weil ich Lovecraft-Fan (und auch sofort Fan dieses Spiels) bin, der grandiosen Optik und der Atmosphäre wegen. Die Geschichte wollte ich schon länger so einmal in einem Spiel erleben. Gerade weil im späteren Spielverlauf noch die ein oder andere Spielmechanik hinzukommt und etwas mit Nora passiert. Aber ich will nicht spoilern.
Ich ziehe meinen Hut vor dem Entwicklerteam. Bitte macht noch (mindestens) einen Nachfolger, ich will unbedingt mehr davon! :D Für mich ein grandioses Spieleerlebnis, daß ich nicht mehr missen möchte. Und für alle die nur im Entferntesten auf Lovecrafts Geschichten, stilvolle Optik und gepflegtes Rätseln stehen, eine klare Kaufempfehlung. Das Spiel ist jeden Cent wert. :D

Endfazit: Nach zwei Tagen habe ich Call of the Sea durchgespielt. Was ich noch sagen möchte: Die Geschichte ist gut, sehr gefühlvoll, emotional. Nora wächst einem ans Herz. Im Laufe der Kapitel hat sie viel zu erzählen. Bis zum Schluß, an dem eine Entscheidung auf den Spieler wartet. Für mich gab es nur einen richtigen Weg. Aber das bleibt jedem Spieler selbst überlassen.
Was ich noch anmerken möchte: Für mich ist das Spiel ein kleines Kunstwerk. Eine kleine aber intensive Reise die von Rätseln und atemberaubender Kulisse geprägt ist. Die Spieldauer ist nicht besonders hoch. Knapp 10 Stunden habe ich ca gebraucht um einen von 2 Endscreens zu sehen. Wer die Rätsel kennt ist viel schneller durch. Ich habe mir aber Zeit gelassen um alles zu sehen. Ich werde zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt noch einmal weiter oder von neuem spielen für die übrigen Errungenschaften. Es ist mir bei weitem nicht gelungen alle zu erreichen.
Zwei Dinge habe ich noch anzumerken die mir nicht so gefallen haben. Einmal, das Spiel ist sehr linear. Man kann kaum vom Hauptweg abweichen und es gibt nur wenige Pfade die zu Verstecken führen. Der Hauptkritikpunkt aber sind die Rätsel. Beginnen diese noch recht einfach, zieht der Schwierigkeit ab Kapitel 3 doch merklich an. Bzw einiges artet regelrecht in Arbeit aus, man muss Geduld aufwenden, sich höchst konzentrieren. Man weiß zwar sofort, was das Spiel von einem will, aber manche der Rätsel sind in meinen Augen etwas..."unglücklich auszuführen". Und ich habe viele Adventures und Rätselspiele gespielt, aber an einigen Passagen musste ich einen Guide konsultieren. Selbst danach konnte ich an einer Stelle im Spiel die erwünschte Lösung immer noch nicht nachvollziehen. Schade. :/
Ansonsten bleibe ich bei meiner Meinung. Das Spiel ist ein kleines Kunstwerk geworden, voller Emotionen, einer faszinierenden Insel...mal farbenfroh mal düster. Das Artwork (visuell und akustisch) des Spiels gehört für mich zum Besten welches ich je gesehen habe. Top Atmosphäre, sehr "Lovecraftian" (gerade im Bezug zu Wesenheiten die ich sehr schätze. Ohne zu viel zu verraten, musste ich im Spiel mehrfach an "Der Schatten über Innsmouth" und "Der Ruf des Cthulhu" denken. Und das meine ich absolut im Positiven. :)
Gut, genug geschrieben. Ich hoffe sehr, meine Rezension konnte euch eine Kaufentscheidung erleichtern. Ich liebe dieses Spiel <3 auch wenn mich einige Rätsel gestresst haben.

My Playtime: 6.2h (100% achievement, finished the game)
Grindy Achievement(s): No.
Optional Achievement(s): Yes (22 achievements).
Difficult Achievement(s): No.

Intro
Call of the Sea follows the story of Norah Everheart, a woman that is trying to find her husband that is searching for a cure for her strange disease. You'll have to explore the beautifully-made landscapes and solve simple puzzles to get closer to the truth.

Pros:
- Beautiful looking landscapes and some scenes where you just need to sit and enjoy the scenery
- Backtracking to gather what you miss can be easily done through chapter select

♥♥♥♥:
- Some texts are hard to see, especially the notebook that has no option to show the text in another font
- Slow walking and running speed

Specs
Intel Core i5-9300H 2.40GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650

Should you buy this game?
Yes.
If you like games with beautiful scenery and don't mind solving some puzzles, buy this game. Those who don't like walking simulators also can try this game since puzzles aren't spread far from each other and areas aren't that vast.



In-Depth Review

Visuals
There is only one word that is fitting to describe the visuals: beautiful. I mean, I didn't even play in the highest setting - I switched to medium after I see how beautiful the game looks at the first scene and I was afraid that my laptop won't handle it for a long session. The sea looks creepy with the dim lighting, and although I had to adjust to its brighter look in the medium setting, they still look great in some scenes. I even unconsciously think that it would be great if I could experience it in VR.

I couldn't help but stop and stare at how well done the scenery looks in some of the areas. The night sky is one example. The in-game sky might look brighter and has more stars in it, but as someone who like to stare at the night sky when I was little, I missed being able to see stars in the sky, and the game just brings me back to that time. There are even some areas where you can just sit and watch the beautiful-looking scenes while the game moves you to the next destination. I like how these are all designed, and if you like to take a screenshot, I believe that you'll spend your time doing that most of the time.

Story
The story blends itself between finding the main character's husband and the mystery that surrounds the area. It blends perfectly since you need to find the trails that were left by your husband, which was trying to explore the area with his team. Since you only find clues in the form of letters and images, it's easy to digest the whole thing while focusing on what matters the most: the exploration.

Call of the Sea is one of the games that didn't feel like telling much but is able to tell a lot at the same time. Part of it might be because I unconsciously process what was being spoken by the main character as I scoured the area, but finding the clues, hearing the main character's remarks, and looking at the scenery is enough to understand the worldbuilding to some extent. It feels as if you are experiencing what the main character does yourself.

The Game
Gameplay
As I said before, the gameplay basically focuses on exploration. You need to scour the area and find some interactable objects that might hold some clues. However, although the game marks the interactable objects, it can be hard to see since the mark is just a tiny dot that will expand if you focus on it. Luckily, you can guess which are the interactable objects to some extent, making it easier to find the clues.

The areas might not be vast, but I still wish for the character to have a faster walking speed. The running speed was still slow, and even if it doesn't, it can be tiring to press the sprint button every time I walk. Some areas might not be spread far from each other, although there are times when I wish that I can walk faster.

I like how the game tracks clues and logs, though. The logs were written in such a way as to let you know what can't be translated by what you see through text, and the clues help to solve some of the puzzles. You just need to be more aware of your surroundings to find everything, and although some puzzles take a bit of thinking, they are pretty simple once you know what to do.

Length and Difficulty
I finished the game in 6.2h. There are times when I didn't know where I was supposed to go, but it was more because I missed some interactable objects on my way. Puzzles will be blocking your progress most of the time, and although I also had trouble with one, I still enjoyed how unique it was from each other. Each puzzle uses a different mechanic to solve, and since it has no instructions, you need to figure out how to solve them based on some clues that are drawn in your notes.

Achievement hunters won't need to worry about completing the game. Each chapter is short and the chapter selection shows what you have missed in that chapter. If that's not enough, there are a lot of guides that you can refer to.

Issues
It can be hard to read the handwriting in the journal and there is no "Read" option to show the text in a different display.

Conclusion
As someone who hates walking simulators, Call of the Sea didn't bore me at all. I liked how it paced itself between exploring and puzzle solving, and exploring is still made worthwhile since you need to find clues. Moreover, the main character's remarks on the exploration always help to some extent, especially with how good the voiceover is - the voice was clear and soothing to the ear. I could recommend it to anyone who likes to enjoy the scenery in a game and doesn't mind doing some puzzles in between.

Review by Gaming Masterpieces - The greatest games of all time on Steam.

Embark on a classic point'n'click adventure game where the environment is not shown in 2D, but in beautiful 3D. We play Norah, a young woman in the 1930s who suffers from an unknown disease. Dark spots on her hands are the reason why she only moves out of the house wearing gloves. And then there are the terrible, constantly recurring nightmares! After no doctor could help her, her husband started looking for a cure. But she hasn't heard from him for a good year now. His trail leads her to an uninhabited island in the South Pacific, which is avoided like the plague by the superstitious locals. So she hires a boat and sets off for the island. Once there, she realises that this is exactly the island she has always dreamed of. Very strange, isn't it?

The paradise-like island is probably not so deserted after all. As soon she lands, she finds the traces of an expedition on the beach, so her missing husband was undoubtedly here. She follows his tracks further and further into the interior of the island. But there is much more waiting for her there. Missing ships, ancient temples as witnesses of a lost civilisation, unknown animals... the Bermuda Triangle is a rest home in comparison. There is much to explore and many things to find, with Norah providing spoken commentary most of the time. So we learn more and more about the island and about her relationship with her missing husband. By the way, important clues and puzzle notes are automatically entered into a diary by Norah - very convenient.

I'm not really a big fan of adventure games in 3D, very often they play rather cluttered and the 3D view is more of a pain than an advantage. Call of the Sea is completely different - here, exploring the island with its countless secrets is really fun. All actions are easy to carry out with a mouse click, so you only sweat because of the puzzles, but not because of the poor controls. By the way, the control works without problems with the mouse as well as with a controller. Apart from the good graphics, the game also is voiced, all sentences and thoughts of our protagonist are spoken by Cissey Jones, who already impressed me in Firewatch. The game also offers the possibility to expand the field of view to 100 degrees, which is also the temperature my GPU had after playing. Or maybe not, but don't try to play this on a laptop. Also very important for me is the option to switch off the camera shaking while walking (head bobbing), because otherwise I quickly get sick, as for example in the actually quite well-made adventure game Draugen.

Conclusion:
If you are looking for a graphically excellent adventure game in 3D, with an exciting story in six long chapters, combined with entertaining puzzles often incorporating polynesian symbology, Call of the Sea is absolutely right for you

[...] Eu amo jogos com história e mistério, se for de terror eu me apaixono mais ainda, sou um grande fã de Silent Hill, Resident Evil, jogos que unem uma ação com mistérios e puzzles, mas calma jovens gafanhotos, Call Of The Sea não é de terror, pode jogar com família toda, e é bom que todo mundo ajuda a resolver os quebra-cabeças que ficam muito difíceis, o jogo é aventura + mistérios onde você precisa soluciona-los para progredir na história, uma viagem maravilhosa principalmente pra quem gosta de livros como mencionei anteriormente, quando você consegue resolver os quebra-cabeças, as peças começam a se encaixar, eu me apaixonei pelo jogo, cada canto que você explora da ilha pode ter uma pista de onde está seu marido, ou que ele já passou por ali, e você vai se enfiando na história e mais puzzle, mais fragmentos da história, cada pedacinho do mapa pode ter algo importante ou apenas uma história sobre pra que servia aquilo, por exemplo uma flauta, um barquinho entalhado, ferramenta de entalhes, ou pode ter uma gravação do que aconteceu em uma fita, em um documento, por isso minha dica pra vocês é, preste atenção nos diálogos, Norah te ajuda a entender para qual caminho você deve seguir, bom mas da história eu acho que já dei um bommm ponto de partida, vamos aos pontos técnicos.

What an absolutely wonderful game! Call of the Sea is an exploratory adventure with a heartwarming love story. You play Norah - a woman with a mysterious illness whose husband has gone missing while looking for a cure. She travels to a South Sea island and begins to look for him, following the clues he has left behind. Puzzles consist primarily of restoring power to modern equipment and activating ancient artifacts. You have a journal that is updated with a log of your travels and all puzzle clues that you encounter.

For me, this game was a perfect mix of adventure and story, without endless backtracking or long dialog trees. The story is told through Norah's musings as well as in the letters, photos, and notes she finds along the way. For the most part, the game is a linear path through 6 chapters with the ability to save at any point. Your time is split between traversing a diverse landscape, experiencing dream like sequences, and swimming in a perfectly crafted underwater world.

The artwork is beautiful and the music is uplifting. Some of the cut scenes feel like a major motion picture... big landscapes with swelling music that give you true 'wow' moments. The voice acting is professionally done and you can't help but like Norah and share her wonder as the mysteries of the island unfold. With few exceptions, the puzzles are not difficult and clues abound if you are paying attention. There are achievements for finding all of the clues and story snippets so it pays to take time and look at every object that can be interacted with.

I think this is one of the better games I've played this year in terms of art, music, story, and puzzles. I highly recommend it to any gamer who doesn't need combat to feel good about an adventure!

Call of the Sea - в этой игре мы будем играть за женщину болеющую необычной болезнью, которая отправляется на поиски своего ̶с̶е̶р̶д̶е̶ч̶н̶о̶г̶о̶ ̶д̶р̶у̶г̶а̶ мужа, который отправился искать лекарство от ее недуга. Нас высадят на острове посреди океана где нам предстоит найти ответы на свои вопросы.

Игра сводится к решению небольших головоломок, которые дают подсказку к решению главной головоломки уровня. Очень радует дневник главной героини куда она записывает все найденные подсказки и благодаря которому можно в любой момент свериться с ним и понять, что необходимо сделать.

И хоть игра по сути является головоломкой, здесь присутствует сюжет - и он очень хорош. По мере прохождения игры открываются новые факты, почему главная героиня болеет и почему её тянет к морю, а в конце всё подытоживается и если по какой то причине потеряли нить сюжета, то всё будет объяснено, что на мой взгляд только плюс = ибо тогда всё повествование выглядит целостным и законченным и не нужно лезть в википедию вспоминая, что было упущено.

Как итог - хорошая игра про головоломки, с приятной графикой и звуком, которую можно проходить не спеша и наслаждаться сюжетом.
P.S. проходя её вспоминался часто фильм Дагон - морское чудовище!

The game feels like it's much longer than it's short run time suggests. I appreciate game design that doesn't pad it's run time with monotony and just gives you its best ideas and keeps the pace of the story up to keep things fresh and engaging.

This game has excellent puzzles that were challenging without being cheap. Excellent game overall!

Вот люблю такие игры, где есть главная героиня.
Полноценный сюжет.
Нора отправляется на поиски мужа, который уехал год назад на остров за лекарством для любимой и пропал.
Не каждая поедет да еще одна. Это говорит о том что она бесстрашная, у нее есть цель и найдет ли она мужа узнаем в конце.

Атмосфера таинственности, загадочности. Невероятная любовь.
Красивые пейзажи острова, Потрясающая флора подводного мира.
Достаточно много головоломок, есть и сложные от которых у меня опухла голова, да приходилось пользоваться подсказкой.
И в конце нас ждут два финала.
Великолепная игра! Рекомендую.

经过差不多2年才补充评价, 即使过了2年我仍然对该游戏的剧情印象深刻,从这一点来看,这无疑是一个好游戏。
游戏剧情引人入胜,充满悬念的剧情让人时而紧张害怕。优美的绘画制作配合交响乐,有时候又让人流连忘返,惊叹游戏风景之美丽。
玩家从剧情中了解到何为克苏鲁,与很多克苏鲁题材的电影以及游戏不一样,游戏更多地表现出克苏鲁那种强大以及人类的渺小,好比我们知道死亡,但是却无法改变只能无奈接受这一事实。一种精神压迫,无形却威力十足,人类过于渺小陷入对未知的恐惧。
创作者以爱情贯穿全游戏,剧情讲述了女主角去南太平洋小岛寻找失踪的丈夫而踏上为爱之旅,身为考古学家的丈夫为了可以救治得到怪病的妻子(女主角)而在小岛上遭遇一系列危险,生死未卜。玩家操控女主角通过解谜探索小岛,发现了各种骇人事件,丈夫留下的种种物品让女主角回忆起他们美好时光的点滴。随着剧情的推进,两人面临着巨大的死亡威胁。在爱情力量的驱使下,使人变得强大而坚定,女主角可以选择加入克苏鲁世界而升华成神,又可以与丈夫团聚度过最后的时光。

非常唯美的爱情故事,中国梁祝以及英国的罗密欧与茱丽叶这种至死不渝的爱情主题大家耳熟能详,但是到今天这个主题依旧未变,虽然传统但是经典又唯美。游戏最后的抉择让玩家陷入沉思,我们长期以来都在探讨死亡问题,从小就有思考死亡之后是否意识就会消亡,对于那份未知又虚空的恐惧,人们更愿意选择相信有来世。我们常常会思考到时间过的很快,我一下子就从小孩长大成人,就从高中毕业,大学毕业,然后就踏入了社会。身边的同学也开始结婚生子,所以人生的意义究竟是什么,我们作为人应该要做什么?我一直不懂,至今也不懂。所以从我对自己的期盼,我肯定会选择踏入未知世界成为神,得到永生。可是这只不过是一种美好幻想罢了,现实就是后者,和大多数一样,追求爱情,珍惜当下。
剧情满分,美术创作满分,音乐满分

It's a first person puzzle game that gives what is promised: to walk and explore along a beautiful isle while solving puzzles, see pictures and read a lot about the facts related to the expedition organized by Nora's husband. "Romantic-novel" love is another key component in the story, as you'll see. Some people will find this component too idillic and unrealistic, while others "who loves to dream with romantized,perfect marriage relationships" will find this enjoyable.

However, don't expect a horror game (yes, despite it's based on Cthulhu mythos). It isn't one of them, and it's not pretending to be scary. The way that the story is treated makes A. Derleth come to my mind before H. P. Lovecraft.

Not at all Lovecraftian like some reviews would lead you to believe. Unfortunately, I cannot say why without giving mild spoilers (below Pros and ♥♥♥♥).

Pros:
* Good narrative structure, solid story
* Good music, sound effects, narration
* Puzzles are not too hard, not too easy
* Game doesn't overstay its welcome. Doable in about 5 hours I'd say.

♥♥♥♥:
* Not getting a puzzle right the first time can lead to a lot of walking back and forth in some cases. This can turn the game into a real walking simulator.
* One more big ♥♥♥ below the spoilers tag.

-Spoilers-
I just felt this game could be Lovecraftian (a reference between Call of Cthulu and Call of the Sea is easily made), and it does feel that way for the first three chapters (out of six). After that, it becomes a clear and comforting love story, without any feeling of dread, danger, or madness for our protagonist. Building up to chapter three, you feel like things are going sideways, and when the (literal) darkness finally approaches you are truly in Lovecraft's territory. The next chapter, though, immediately ends this charade completely and makes a 180 turn. From that moment on, there is nothing to the game that resembles Lovecraft's work in theme, but only sticks to placing references.

I finished the game and am happy I did. I liked the ending, but am slightly disappointed the game didn't continue the feeling of dread and despair. I would have loved to see it go down a road where you have an open ending that leaves you chilled to the bones (just like any Lovecraft short).

Call of the Sea est avant tout une aventure riche en découverte et en puzzles. Il faudra faire preuve d’un sens de l’observation aiguisé et d’une logique à toute épreuve pour pouvoir espérer se passer d’un guide afin de terminer l’aventure

Call of the Sea est un jeu qui a tout compris en matière de jeux de puzzles moderne, il place à notre disposition tous les indices que l’on a récolté au cours de nos explorations et nous aide fortement à les remettre en ordre grâce à sa gestion de la pagination du carnet. Tout ce que l’on a besoin de savoir et tous les indices seront indiqués ensemble.

L’histoire est vraiment prenante avec une narration impeccable et surtout des monologues de Norah qui sonnent juste et pas seulement dédiés à nous faire comprendre qu’il se passe quelque chose d’important comme dans la plupart des jeux. On comprendra de nous même l’implication de ses actions et surtout ce qui est arrivé à la précédente expédition et aux choix qu’à du faire son époux. Brillant, tout simplement.

Call of the Sea possède une sacrée durée de vie sincèrement excellente pour ce genre de jeu, on fera le tour de l’aventure en 7-8h pour peu que l’on ait l’habitude de ce genre de production. Comptez encore 2-3 heures afin de tout débloquer en matière de succès. C’est juste parfait, ni trop long ni trop court. On a pas le temps de s’ennuyer et surtout on a pas l’impression que des passages du jeu ne servent à rien.

Le jeu n’est très clairement pas difficile en matière de résolution d’énigmes. Pour peu que l’on soit observateur et que l’on parvienne à mettre en relation des symboles avec des éléments du jeu, on aura très vite compris ce que le jeu attends de nous non seulement en matière d’énigmes mais aussi pour les objets collectables ici et là. J’oserais même dire que le jeu est un brin trop facile car seuls quelques puzzles m’ont posé des soucis.

Au final, Call of the Sea est vraiment un jeu à part en cette fin d’année 2020. Non seulement il brille dans sa narration grâce à un excellent jeu d’acteur ainsi que par le biais de son histoire simple mais ô combien efficace mais également grâce à au mix puzzles et gestion des environnements. Si le résultat graphique final est sublime, les puzzles ne sont pas en reste ainsi, ils feront réfléchir n’importe quel joueur pendant 7 superbes heures.

This is not a terrible game, but there are some terrible parts about it that really pull away from the good (at least for me).

-Spoiler free review-

CotS is like a first person point and click, almost hidden object game. It's a walking simulator with some puzzles thrown in. The story is a neat Lovecraftian narrative that you don't need to have any previous experience with to appreciate. The puzzles themselves really aren't too difficult overall, but that's because most anything can be brute-forced given enough time. That being said, there are useful clues that help get the real solution faster. Some solutions are very easy, some do take a bit more thought. As of the time of this writing, 5 hours in, I'm currently working on the last chapter. It shouldn't take too long.

But that's where the problems come in. MOST of my 5 hours hasn't been spent solving the puzzles, but simply moving around. The game would really have a very short playtime needed to complete, were it not for the molasses speed. There are semi-missable achievements (secret items, 100% log) that you cannot earn once you get past a certain part of a level, so you have to replay the level. Movement speed is so terribly slow that what should have been a quick re-run (having already solved the puzzles) turns into a terribly frustrating waiting game. In particular, chapter 5. I missed something so went back to play it again, and one of the larger puzzles, which was extremely simple to solve, takes forever to clear because one must walk up and down and back and forth at a very leisurely pace, even when "sprinting" with the shift key.

The slow movement speed wasn't too bad during the first solve, but when trying to replay any chapter, it becomes painfully obvious how slow all movements/activities are.

Overall, I'll give a soft recommendation for a first playthrough; absolutely not if you want to get 100% without using a guide the whole way through (which really kills the fun of a puzzle game).

"Oh my, it seems my family has a dark and secret history. If only I had more than three brain cells, I might have figured that out years ago!"

I kind of stumbled my way into this game. The screenshots on the store page looked nice and hinted at some puzzles, and the game had some faintly lovecraftian undertones I felt might be hinting at some hidden horror elements. Horror and puzzles? Count me in!

Let's just say right now: this game wasn't quite what I expected.

To get the obvious out of the way here: the game is pretty! From lush jungles and pristine beaches bathed in sunlight to wrecked ships in stormy nights to more, the visual side of the game is very nicely done.

At the time of writing the game suffered from a very nasty bug that caused the main menu music to play on a loop over the top of all other game audio, including the level music, if the options menu was ever visited. It took me a long while to realise this was truly broken (I just thought the music of the game was purposefully weird or lazily done). As such I can't say much on the music of the game, and will just call it passable. On a more technical level, the game feels weirdly heavy to run. My GTX 1080 chugged madly and in some areas I struggled to achieve a steady 60 FPS, with certain items, rooms or effects dipping me down to the low 40's. Considering the stylized and simplified visuals, this feels like a strange thing to be happening, and might be put down to lack of optimization and polish.

What presents a far greater problem than broken music or stuttering framerate, however, is our protagonist. The game recounts the journey of Norah, as she ventures out to find her missing husbands expedition, which went out to try and find a cure for a mysterious disease that ails our protagonist. Norah is, however, one of the most infuriating protagonists I have endured in a long time. While the voice actor is passable, the lines she is made to read during the game ruin both her character, as well as much of the immersion and even gameplay on offer. Norah has a terrible habit of narrating things she has no way of knowing, ruining revelations the player might have figured out themselves, and even revealing key information used to resolve puzzles, before the player has had time to study the puzzle themselves. She also constantly dismisses any idea that there might be grander revelations ahead in the story, and states the flat out obvious so many times I couldn't help but laugh out loud toward the end of the game. In addition, Norah writes notes in her journal constantly, including puzzle hints that outright reveal most puzzle solutions well before the player has had time to even have a crack at solving the puzzle themselves. This feels like an attempt by the developers to ensure that anyone can complete the game, but for a player looking to challenge their brainbox with intricate puzzles that take time to analyze and figure out, this game is definitely NOT for you! (I'd recommend looking into Quern or Obduction if that is the case)

What about the puzzles themselves? Since the game has very little gameplay beyond walking around and solving puzzles in a linear fashion to open up new areas and to move to the next level, the puzzles alone have to carry the games interactive experience. Sadly, the puzzles do not impress here. The tasks the player has to complete range from very simple 'find the barely hidden item' to 'organize symbols in a specific sequence' all the way to the age old copy of Simon Says. And as mentioned before, Norah is always there to tell you exactly which bits of information are important and how they are to be used. The only times I felt the game let me figure things out for myself were cases where I had a set of symbols and a clear order, but the game didn't say if I was to order the symbols in an ascending or descending order, leaving me to try both ways until the solution clicked.

Call of the Sea left me outright confused in the end. From the very opening moments of the adventure, the game lays out its cards plainly in front of the player, and despite the store page making no mention of Lovecraft or the Cthulhu mythos, the very opening cutscene reveals these influeces, while a little later the game goes out of its way to tell us that Norah has not-so-distant relatives in a little place called Innsmouth! The presence of lovecraftian horrors is in no way hidden or secret, but is outright shown to the player early on, and any attempt at a plot twist is watered down by Norah explaining each and every story beat and revelation to death in an omniscient manner, to the point where she is able to tell what people were doing and thinking weeks or months ago, based only on a few written letters or scattered items. Norah also manages to be the most immovable, carefree protagonist ever to set foor on a cursed island that drives people mad, which only serves to further dismiss any intrigue the game might have had. The story lacks any tension or threat, and the game outright points this out several times.

As far as I can tell, Call of the Sea is intended as something of a baby's first adventure game. Something a player more accustomed to casual hidden object games or mobile games might pick up and try out and find suitably easy to gloss over, perhaps providing a stepping stone on the path to more serious adventure games. For anyone looking for a challenge, I can only say: look elsewhere.

Gorgeous graphics and initially captivating story line don't mask the truth that it's more walking simulator than puzzle/exploration game. Each chapter is very constrained and the puzzle peak in difficulty about half way through, and even then will take little more than a few moments of thought for anyone seasoned that has played Myst, Quern, or similar. The second half of the game devolves into basic pattern matching and the final puzzle is easily one of the most straightforward in the entire experience. The message the game gives in it's endings is touching but is not a worthy payoff when so much of the inner details of the whole experience are left completely ignored. It would have been nice to explore Norah's lineage further through the island and mysteries it holds, but instead Call of the Sea is just a walk from one gated area to another looking for shapes or symbols to align correctly to proceed.

Well made game that simply lacks the depth of others in the genre.

I feel bad not recommending this game because I did quite like it, but a lot of the time it had me going through the motions.

Like ... I'd seen these puzzles before, I'd heard these stories before and Call of the Sea was perfectly content trying to be perfectly middle-of-the-road. It's not like it's not an enjoyable experience, it's just so forgettable.

Also, I've said it before and I'll say it again: either go for the walking sim, or go for the adventure puzzler, but trying to string together a walking sim with puzzles that are so simple and tepid just doesn't work for me. I mean, there's a Simon Says in there somewhere. How about an original idea for once?

Call of the Sea is a puzzle-driven romance/Lovecraftian horror story game with walking simulator aspects. Overall, this game was really well-paced with a story that lures you in quickly, and you unravel the secrets/mysteries that behold your fate as you progress via exploration. The story was excellent with small details you'll likely appreciate if you have familiarity with some of Lovecraft's work (such as The Shadow Over Innsmouth). The game looks really pretty/interesting and it plays smoothly. The puzzles themselves are quite well-done, IMO; they are pretty middle of the road in terms of difficulty (if not on the easier end), but all follow logical reasoning to be solved and thus feel very 'fair' in completing them. The game doesn't overstay its welcome, coming in at about 5.5 hours of playtime with an additional ~2 hours for achievement clean-up. Overall, this is a great pick for fans of narrative-driven puzzle games, particularly if you are looking for a game with a romance/horror flavor to it.

Seems like a fascinating game. I love Historical Fiction and story based games. However I can't play this game for more than 30 mins at a time without having horrible motion sickness. I wish there was a 3rd person option, however if you are a person who isnt bothered by motion sickness, im sure you will love this game. It has amazing graphics, stunning music, and a truly intriguing story.

Zaskakująco przyjemna gierka. Kupiłem w sumie w ciemno, skuszony opisem i trailerem, ale nie żałuję ani wydanych pieniędzy, ani poświęconego czasu. Bawiłem się dobrze i zapewniła mi ona ciekawą przygodę owianą tajemnicą, bogate wrażenia wizualne oraz niezłe zagadki, ani nie za trudne, ani nie nazbyt oczywiste.

Jest to w sumie zwyczajny walking simulator, a interakcja ogranicza się do zagadek środowiskowych, więc próżno szukać tutaj akcji czy elementów zręcznościowych. Konstrukcja wyspy jest liniowa i prosta, a lokacje niezbyt obszerne, korytarzowe i łatwe w nawigacji, przedzielone naturalnymi barierami, których otworzenie jest naszym zadaniem. Ot, typowy, naturalny postęp w tego typu grach.

Sposób podania, mimo że nie wnosi nic nowego, tak dzięki całej fabule, samej narracji i dochodzeniu do faktów, jest zaskakująco grywalny i z przyjemnością odkrywałem kolejne informacje oraz rozwiązywałem zagadki. Wszystko układa się powoli w całość, a zakończenie nie jest takie oczywiste, jakby się wydawało. Całość ociera się zgrabnie o Lovecrafta, czerpie z niego garściami w niektórych momentach, wprowadza pożądaną zarówno atmosferę, jak i lekki dreszczyk emocji.

Same zagadki są dosyć podobne do siebie przez całą grę i nie zawadziłoby lekkie urozmaicenie, ale i tak mi się podobały. Wymagają ciut spostrzegawczości i logicznego myślenia, bazują na piktogramach i są tak pomyślane, że rozwiązanie nie jest od razu widoczne jak na dłoni. Niestety nasza postać potrafi zepsuć zabawę zbyt częstymi i nachalnymi podpowiedziami, a także sam dziennik zbytnio naprowadza na podpowiedzi. Tutaj bym ciut ograniczył te zapędy.

Niewątpliwą zaletą gry jest wspaniała, bajecznie kolorowa, stylizowana grafika. Lokacje, mimo że nie są zbytnio odkrywcze i ma się wrażenie, że już gdzieś się je widziało, tak jednak są zaprojektowane pieczołowicie i wyglądają okazale. Bardzo mi się podobały widoki, oświetlenie, kolorystyka, tekstury, modele — utrzymane w specyficznym rysunkowym stylu, ale nie infantylnym czy karykaturalnym. Sam interfejs i nasz dziennik są również wyśmienicie zaprojektowane i życzyłbym sobie, aby w innych grach tyle uwagi temu przywiązywali.

Mocną stroną jest też udźwiękowienie i sam dubbing: zorientowany w sytuacji i podszyty emocjami, zgrabnie pasujący do wydarzeń. W tle przygrywa przyjemna muzyka, która potrafi zagrać na emocjach gdy trzeba, ale nie narzuca się zbytnio przy okazji.

Zasadniczo jedyne, do czego mogę się przyczepić to:
- zbyt dużo zdradzającą postać, która za często wygłasza truizmy i zdradza rozwiązania zagadek
- zbytnio podpowiadający dziennik
- powolne poruszanie się, co w niektórych, obszerniejszych, lokacjach ciut irytuje
- problemy z miksowaniem dźwięków: czasem niektóre dźwięki zagłuszają inne, a dialogi bywają za ciche
- problemy z ładowaniem jednego obszaru, który się zupełnie popsuł i musiałem wczytać grę
- problem z zapadaniem się pod ziemię po rozpoczęciu interakcji z niektórymi elementami z nieodpowiedniej strony

Technicznie było ogólnie dobrze i nie zaznałem ani zwiech, ani spadków klatek, ani innych problemów ze stabilnością. Jedynie te błędy w ładowaniu jednego obszaru ciut zdezorientowały na początku, ale na szczęście załadowanie gry pomogło naprawić sytuację.

Podsumowując
Jest to bardzo solidna gierka, może nie jakaś odkrywcza czy wielce innowacyjna, ale to, co ma robić, robi naprawdę dobrze i potrafi wciągnąć, postępy są bardzo naturalne, a historia intryguje i popycha ku rozwiązaniu. Zagadki są o na tyle umiarkowanej trudności i złożoności, że spokojnie poradzą sobie z nimi wszyscy, jest to tylko kwestią czasu, dzięki czemu próg wejścia jest stosunkowo niski.

Oprócz paru błędów nie mam się tutaj do czego przyczepić i myślę, że każdy, kto lubi walking simulatory z zagadkami powinien śmiało spróbować. Nie jest to zbyt długa gra (długość zależy głównie od naszego intelektu), ale potrafi wciągnąć skutecznie i porwać atmosferą i historią. Są na pewno lepsze gry, dłuższe, z ciekawszymi i bardziej urozmaiconymi zagadkami, ale ogólnie jest to godna polecenia pozycja na dwa, trzy wieczory.

Call of the Sea
The sea calls me home

Call of the Sea is a visually stunning and narrative-driven puzzle adventure that embarks players on a captivating journey through an enigmatic island filled with mysteries and secrets. The game's art, storytelling, and puzzle-solving elements come together harmoniously to create an engaging and immersive experience. While it has its strengths, some minor shortcomings prevent it from reaching its full potential.

Visuals and Art Style:
Visually, Call of the Sea is a very pretty. The hand-painted art style and vibrant colours breathe life into the mysterious island setting. The attention to detail in the environments and character designs is commendable, creating a world that is both beautiful and haunting. The game's ability to evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity through its visuals is a definite highlight.

Storytelling:
The game's narrative is its driving force, taking players on an emotional journey through the protagonist's search for her missing husband. The intriguing plot slowly unravels, revealing layers of mystery and suspense that keep players invested in the story's outcome. The game's voice acting also adds depth to the characters and their emotions, enhancing the overall storytelling experience.

Puzzle-Solving:
Call of the Sea features a variety of clever puzzles that challenge players to think outside the box. The puzzles are well-integrated into the narrative, offering a sense of satisfaction upon completion. However, some puzzles can feel overly simplistic, and a few lack the depth and complexity that puzzle enthusiasts might seek. A bit more balance in difficulty would have elevated the puzzle-solving aspect further.

Gameplay:
While the story and puzzles are strong, the gameplay is where Call of the Sea falls a bit short. The movement and controls can feel clunky and imprecise at times, leading to frustrating moments during exploration and puzzle-solving. Additionally, the lack of interaction with the island's environment limits the sense of immersion, hindering players from fully experiencing the richness of the world.

Audio:
The game's audio design complements the overall atmosphere, with a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that heightens the emotional impact of the story. The ambient sounds and voice acting add to the sense of immersion, creating a well-rounded auditory experience.

Length and Replay Value:
Call of the Sea offers a relatively short gameplay experience, which might disappoint players looking for a lengthier adventure. However, the quality of the storytelling and the captivating visuals make it a worthwhile journey for those seeking a memorable and emotionally engaging experience. Replay value is limited considering that the game is a linear puzzle-solving narrative experience.

In conclusion, Call of the Sea is an enchanting and visually captivating puzzle adventure that weaves an intriguing narrative on a mysterious island. While its art, storytelling, and audio are standouts, minor gameplay and puzzle shortcomings hold it back from reaching higher heights. Overall, it provides a satisfying and memorable journey for players who appreciate immersive storytelling and atmospheric exploration.

Juego de puzzles corto pero intenso. Tiene muy buenos puzzles para resolver ♥♥♥ una historia aceptable que te lleva al final ♥♥♥ ganas de saber que es lo que pasa. Gráficamente muy bello y muy agradable a la vista ♥♥♥ una banda sonora muy linda. Un juego mas o menos corto dependiendo del ritmo que le pongas y de lo que te tardes en hacer los puzzles pero bastante correcto el juego.

Unexpectedly good lovecraftian story! Aside from the framing (and ending) it is rather derivative, but it mostly "gets" lovecraft, or at least a self-sufficient part of it.

The game also looks amazing - sometimes a bit rough, but the scenes presented more than make up for it.

Unfortunately, the game design is... mediocre, at best?
The problem is that the "puzzles" are more like riddles, and have absolutely nothing to do with the theme of the game, most of the time.
It's the most egregious example of "game logic" I've seen in a long time. You're often just turning lever for no other reason other than that they're there and you know something will open up once you turn them all correctly.
Beyond that, the obstacles are pointlessly obtuse and serve no purpose other than to fill the time and serve as an excuse to call it a puzzle game rather than a walking simulator.

There is rarely any mechanic build-up or progression, each puzzle relying on a different and arbitrary set of rules.

Sometimes, you are also forced to walk back and forth to turn things on and off, again, for no reason.

Finally, there is one aspect that annoyed me greatly - you are given clues through in-games notes and so on. However, instead of the game trusting the player to figure things out (or to fine-tune the clues to make sure they will unambiguously lead to the correct solution), the designers rely on an auto-completed "notebook" which displays the right clues and information needed. This means you rarely need to think about what you find in the world. Instead, you turn your brain off, walk around interacting with everything (that has an interaction icon) and, in the end, look on the notebook for the steps to solve the puzzle.


Just to give a particularly infuriating puzzle example (spoilers ahead):

- you need to play a "stone organ", whose pipes are opened or closed by some pillars with a symbol on them, identifying the note. So far, so good.
- however, the symbols on the pillars are not the "real" symbols, instead they are shuffled, exchanged by other symbols. This transformation is somewhere else entirely, on a slide show. Also, there are several transformations, and the correct one depends on the height of the tide (because why not?).
- which notes to play? Well, that is revealed is two other parts of the island: (1) you need to solve a floating stone puzzle that will give you 3 random numbers (frequencies); (2) in another part of the island, there is a piano keyboard which reveals a number when you play a specific note.
- finally, on the rock organ, you need to play the notes that produce the frequencies from the floating stone puzzle, except that they are also shuffled by the tide.

This, of course, all involves walking to and fro, very slowly.

There could be other examples (although not as full of indirection).

The general point, however, is this: there is no internal logic the game. It's all "magic". You do things because you know the game will respond to it, even though there is no explanation or reason for them. There is no understanding underneath. There is no relation to the themes or writing.

So yeah. I felt like the puzzles, or "riddles", were awful and pointless.
If you can tolerate those, and you enjoy Lovecraft (in the sense of superstition, heredity, xenophobia, archaeology and dreams), there is an impressively looking game underneath, with a nice, if derivative, plot.

I'm giving it a positive just because the latter elements were a positive surprise.

I like most of puzzle games I played but certainly not this one.

+ Great environments.
+ Somewhat interesting story.

- Illogical puzzles.
- Very slow character movement.
- Infuriatingly slow ladder animations.
- Significant distances between puzzle elements.

If you enjoy this genre then this game is pretty much as good as it gets. None of the puzzles were frustrating or banally easy, the story is engaging, audio-visual side is top notch. I have really nothing bad to say about it.
Took me ~5hrs to complete without rushing through - I was satisfied (having paid full release price) but I imagine some people might take issue with the price/hours of play ratio so decide for yourself.

this game's great!
It's a puzzle game with a linear story which the developers did a fantastic job on it. I was the entire time looking for an answer and every completed puzzle felt like i was getting closer to my questions.
I left Cyberpunk hanging for 2 days so i could finish this game.
my rating is:
10/10, great story, cool puzzles, amazing environment all around. love it!

Faut-il tendre l'oreille à l'appel de la mer ?

Épineuse question que de savoir si ce Call of the Sea mérite de débourser la modique somme de 20 euros pour pouvoir y jouer, surtout dans un tel contexte de crise où les banques suisses s'effondrent et que l'eau va bientôt disparaître, ainsi que l'avait prédit Monsieur Van Damme. Cette question est d'autant plus épineuse qu'elle concerne un jeu qui est bon, mais qui est, en fin de compte, juste bon. Seulement bon. Rien de bien dingue, en réalité. Mais suffisamment pour obtenir un pouce bleu, tout de même. Et d'en faire une évaluation.

✔: Comme un vent de fraîcheur

Je n'avais pas d'attente particulière en débutant Call of the Sea, si ce n'est une vague curiosité pour le produit qui m'a été généreusement offert par celui que je considère comme ma waifu virtuelle des cadeaux Steam. Cette curiosité s'est transformée en coup de cœur lorsque mes pieds (enfin, ceux de Norah, le personnage principal) ont foulé le sable de cette île polynésienne perdue au fond de l'océan. Le jeu est beau, l'ambiance est envoûtante, les environnements constituent un régal pour les yeux.

Le journal complète l'histoire. 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Guizminator


Ce cadre insulaire, trop peu présent à mon goût dans les jeux vidéo, est sublimé par son histoire. Le voyage de Norah est autant une quête personnelle qu'une mission visant à retrouver son mari disparu à la suite d'une expédition. L'émotion est présente, notamment grâce à Cissy Jones (connue principalement pour son rôle dans Firewatch) qui prête sa voix à l'héroïne.

L'ensemble est sublimé par cette ambiance Lovecraftienne, mais qui n'en est pas réellement une. Le jeu marche sur l'esprit de Lovecraft, c'est indéniable, mais les développeurs ont réussi à aller au-delà, à proposer quelque chose d'original. Et donc, de plaisant à découvrir, encore une fois !

❌: Comme un air de déjà-vu

C'est pourtant en tant que jeu vidéo (c'est-à-dire en tant qu'expérience vidéoludique pure) que le bât blesse. Call of the Sea fait partie de ces jeux pensés avant tout pour raconter une histoire, nous donnant l'impression d'être davantage un spectateur qu'un véritable joueur. L'exploration est relativement cloisonnée (malgré un premier chapitre prometteur) et les énigmes faciles à appréhender (mais parfois difficiles à saisir dans leur logique).

L'enquête est ponctuée de flash-backs. 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Guizminator


Quelques lacunes, probablement inhérentes aux capacités des développeurs, sont présentes, comme des murs invisibles, une absence totale de PNJ (justifiée en partie par la scénario, justifiée en partie par un effet de mise en scène qui relève plus du cache-misère) et une optimisation douteuse par endroits (rien d'anormal venant de mon PC de prolo', me direz-vous). Du reste, comptez six heures pour voir le bout de l'aventure. Un chiffre honorable eu égard au récit raconté, déshonorable eu égard au prix demandé.

Call of the Sea constitue pour moi le premier coup de cœur de cette année 2023. Du reste, il n'est qu'un bon jeu d'enquête, frais et agréable dans la forme, mais profondément quelconque dans le fond. Le récit et la présence de nombreux succès Steam peuvent éventuellement motiver certains à relancer une seconde partie, mais l'ensemble peine encore à justifier le prix exigé. Dans le doute, mieux vaut passer à la caisse lors d'une promotion pour être certain d'y trouver son compte !

-Если с ним что-то произошло я этого не переживу.

Ещё одну в копилку,к прекрасному жанру "От точки до точки".Первый раз когда я увидела её на летней презентации я поняла что обязательно стоит оценить это самой.И вот она наконец-то вышла.

Господи,пусть с ним всё будет хорошо.
Сюжет игры происходит вокруг женщины по имени Нора.У которой пропадает муж на экспедиции и мы с вами должны чего бы нам этого не стоила отыскать его.После ночного кошмарного сна наше приключение и начинается.

Не возможно отвести взгляд.
Игра спокойная,не требует хорошей реакции и прочие.С первых минут после того как мы попали на остров,было понятно что здесь кроме передвижения от точки к другой точки и решения загадок нет не чего.Мы имеем записную книжку и всё.А БОЛЬШЕГО И НЕ НУЖНО)
Осматривать каждую локацию хочется по дольше и с каждой сменой это умножается в двое.Так что графике можно смело ставить Like.


Коротко говоря это скромная Лара Крофт от первого лица.
А если правду сказать,то уже нет сил ждать 10 декабря и эта игра поможет вам убить эти сутки.Так что дерзайте.

Спасибо за убитую минутку.Если вам понравился мой короткий обзор и вы его решили не только оценить но и наградить,то поставьте пожалуйста в комментарии "+" что-бы я вам ответила взаимностью.Всем хорошей недели.
Ваша Алина!

Непоганий квест за мотивами творів Лавкрафта. Своїм візуальним стилем чимось нагадує відомий Firewatch. З технічної точки зору Call of the Sea має певні проблеми - під час проходження не раз просідав фреймрейт, а у деяких локаціях текстури підгружалися прямо на очах. Зате квестова частина не підвела - загадки вийшли напрочуд вдалими і їх було цікаво розв'язувати. Та і сюжет, в результаті, теж виявився доволі хорошим. Тому, якщо вас не лякають вищеназвані недоліки (вони дійсно не такі вже й критичні), а душа прагне якоїсь містичної пригоди - Call of the Sea підійде на всі 100%.

Call of the sea ist ein kurzes (4-7 Stunden Spielzeit) first person Abenteuer. Die Hauptfigur sucht ihren Ehemann, der auf der Suche nach einer Heilung für ihre Krankheit, verschollen ist. Der letzte bekannte Aufenthaltsort ist eine Insel im Pazifik wohin die Hauptfigur reist und wo sich die Geschichte grundsätzlich abspielt.

Diese Geschichte wird v.a. durch die Monologe der Hauptfigur erzählt, sowie durch die Tagebucheinträge. Gerade erstere sind gut gemacht und passend. Inhaltlich fand ich die Story gut erzählt und interessant. Kein absolutes Meisterwerk, aber doch kreativ, interessant und am Ende mit einer interessanten und wie ich fand sehr passenden Entscheidung versehen.

Vom Gameplay her steuert man durch ziemlich klar aufgebaute Level und löst verschiedene Rätsel, um im Spiel weiterzukommen. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad der Rätsel bewegt sich dabei von superleicht bis zu "braucht doch ein paar Hirnzellen". Ja, manche Rätsel brauchen etwas Denkarbeit, bis man sie durchschaut, aber keines der Rätsel ist unfair oder richtig bockschwer, sodass die meisten Spieler sie ohne Komplettlösung lösen können sollten.

Wenn man nicht gerade Rätsel löst, bewegt man sich über die Insel. Das hat manchmal etwas einen Walking-Simulator-Vibe, allerdings halten sich die Distanzen angenehmerweise gut im Rahmen. Die Grafik ist dabei durchaus hübsch anzusehen. Ja, das Ganze ist nicht die perfekte High End Grafik, aber doch alles sehr stimmungsvoll und aus einem Guss gemacht. Dazu kommt die tolle 30-er Jahre Atmosphäre, durch den Stil der Gegenstände, die Musik, Fotos etc.

Fazit: Call of the sea ist ein gutes Spiel für jeden, der gerne Rätseladventures mit interessanten Stories hat. Ich wurde jedenfalls bestens unterhalten und empfehle das Spiel deshalb gerne weiter.

昔ながら、なテイストを感じる良作アドベンチャーゲーム。Myst系統な感じだけどそこまで高難度じゃない。アクション要素皆無なので、落ち着いてじっくり謎機械パズルを解きながら進む。
進捗、情報がいつでも見られるログとメモに自動で追記されるので、メモられたら「あ、これがヒントだな」と気付けるし、メモに不自然な空白があれば「なんか見落としてんな」とわかる。

フィールドはそこそこ広いがチャプター毎に分断されていて、マップを要するほどの複雑さはなく特に迷わない。鮮やかな色彩のせいもあってインタラクト対象がやや分かり難いところもあるけど、敵もNPCも居ないし死にもしないし、慌てずゆっくりいきましょう。

クトゥルフ系統かと思いきや、ちょっと独特の世界観。南国タヒチの雰囲気とやや能天気な主人公で、結構酷いコト起きてる割には恐怖や不気味さも悲壮感も感じない。(スペイン産と聞いてなんか妙に納得)

翻訳は良好。ちょっとしたミスは若干あるがプレイの阻害になるほどじゃない。インディー系ならこんなもんか、いや充分良い方だと思う。

今までとくに話題を見聞きしなかったし、日本語のレビューも妙に少ないけど、隠れた名作、というところか。いや全然隠れなくていいのに。

FPVなので主人公の御姿を堪能できないのは残念だなぁ…

It looks like I am going to be a dissenting opinion. Call of the Sea is a predictable, contrived, tedious slog from start to finish, the veneer of pretty graphics gets you through the first hour or two.

You know the entire story and how it will end within the first 2 minutes.

The protagonist will quip about each puzzle element she finds and in doing so robs the player of the opportunity to puzzle solve; almost all puzzle solutions are spelled out in the journal for you too. The puzzles are generic and have been seen in so many other games. Even minor puzzling, such as turning items around to find hidden details on the back, is rendered pointless as the game provides an icon when there is something to find (and when there isn't there's no icon); it's such a bizarre design decisio

The movement speed, even when sprinting, is glacial and a source of endless frustration. Ladders are equally as insufferable with excessively long animations for getting on/off them.

The protagonist voice lines have zero emotion to them and she is not written like a human being. She simply spouts lines which feel like bullet points that the developers put in to make sure the player understands what's going on. These "bullet points" remove the mysterious and enticing urge to untangle the story, the protagonist will do it for you and in doing so relegates you to being a mere spectator for the most part; this game would have benefited immensely from a silent protagonist that let the player engage with the game.

Finally, this clearly Lovecraftian game is utterly unimaginative, it uses all of the usual tired tropes: fish monsters, returning to the sea, strange temples with non-euclidean architecture, etc.

What a refreshingly well-executed game! The puzzles were just the right amount of difficulty, with minimal hand-holding but clever and reasonable solutions. The story was coherent, the characters well sketched, and I found it compelling enough to finish this game in only a few sittings.

There were a few objects and moments that I felt deserved some more reaction from the protagonist, and I found even the sprinting pace a bit tedious especially in chapter 5 when you have to go back and forth a fair bit, but other than these very minor quibbles I have no complaints about this fun and diverting little adventure game/walking sim.

Ich spiele das Spiel in 4k auf maximalen Einstellungen und nehme dabei auf.
Ich kann sagen, dass die Grafik überwältigend ist. Der Ton ist sehr gut abgemischt, die Spielmechanik ohne Probleme.
Die Story ist interessant und baut gut aufeinander auf. Die Rätzel sind spannend, teils anstrengend, aber nie so kompliziert, dass es kein Vorankommen gibt.
Dieses liebevolle Spiel wird diesem Preis völlig gerecht. Ich hätte sogar noch mehr dafür bezahlt.
In 2,5 Stunden ist mir nicht einmal langweilig geworden. Es gab viele entspannte und atmosphärische Momente, aber auch Gänsehautfeeling.

Ich kann das Spiel nur empfehlen,
LG

A forma na água se inspirou em você ou você na forma água?

Jogo Adquirido pelo Humble Choice: Junho/ 2022

Incrível semelhanças com o filme vencedor do oscar de 2017; em call of the sea somos apresentados a personagem Norah; em uma ilha misteriosa, procurando por respostas do que aconteceu com uma expedição feita por seu marido para encontrar a cura de sua doença rara e misteriosa.

Por que a civilização desapareceu completamente e como aconteceu o sumiço de seu marido, são os objetivos principais da história. O game nos apresentará e nos guiar pelos caminhos realizados pela expedição, em 6 níveis procuraremos por provas, pistas, documentos e resolveremos puzzles que nos deixarão mais perto do segredo final.

Não é um game que vai agradar todos, embora ele contenha uma boa história, belas paisagens e uma boa trilha sonora; os puzzles deixarão o ritmo do game lento !! E isso pode gerar certa frustração nos jogadores, não são impossíveis; mais podem dar um certo trabalho para concluir.
Envolvem muito mais do que pegar um item e levar, ele envolve percepção dos desenhos e possíveis soluções; tendo assim como base de partida o bloco de notas da personagem, onde ela anota tudo que pode ser útil na jogatina.

Para quem gosta de fazer 100% de conquistas poderá vir a ser necessário um guia, pois todo capítulo a uma conquista oculta e também um item secreto.
Exemplo de conquista secreta: Ao final da fase 1 não avance para o 2, retome até a praia que iniciamos para ver que nossa jangada não esta mais la presa; podemos passar despercebido e perde-la caso não soubermos do segredo.


Em si call of the sea funciona bem para amantes de puzzles, serão bem feitos e detalhados e exigirá paciência para avançar no game, por melhor que a história seja; ela não conseguirá te fazer se prender ao game se você tiver raiva de de demora para sair de algum puzzle.

Call of the sea is a first person puzzle adventure game with beautiful 3d cartoon-like graphics sporting some epic scenery and vistas. It has an intriguing story that slowly unravels and has some twists and turns along the way. The story is primarily told through monologue of the main character who has a very good voice over artist, and the rest is told via notes and pictures left behind in the environment. The game took me about 6 hours to complete in one sitting, the puzzles aren't too demanding if you're a seasoned puzzle fan but offer enough of a challenge to keep you thinking.

They have removed some of the classic game play of puzzle adventure games, where you endlessly seek for inventory items or things to interact with. The game does a good job of giving you most of the information up front, so you can spend most of your time thinking and not messing about.

I highly recommend this for puzzle fans, it's an enjoyable and atmospheric experience, it doesn't outstay its welcome and has a good length for it's standard price of £15, so represents good value. My only real gripe with the game is the levels become very large as you progress and even when sprinting your character is quite slow, especially at climbing ladders, this makes it a bit frustrating and a lot of the games length comes from traversing quite large areas. This won't bother some but I found it became frustrating later on.

Oh, what good fortune it was that unanticipated events led to me playing this game! I'm inspired enough to do a full-powered review of it. Buckle in, for this is going to be very long.

This was not on my list of 'Games to Play in 2023'
Call of the Sea was never on my radar. Maybe I'd seen the cover art on the Steam storefront a few times. I didn't register the game in my mind even when it was a freebie on the Epic Games Store last month.

It was only when I purchased the Humble Heroines bundle[www.humblebundle.com] that I gave CotS a first look. I'd bought this bundle only for Syberia: The World Before, but I'd paid for all those other games, so I might as well see what they are, yea?



The thing that pushed me to actually play CotS, even though it wasn't in my game plan, was the fact it was built with Unreal Engine 4. There was a good chance I could enjoy viewing it in stereoscopic 3D with the Universal Unreal Engine 4 3D fix[www.mtbs3d.com].

The universal UE4 fix came through with flawless results. I viewed CotS in S3D with my VR headset, using the quasi-VR configuration I came up with to give a perspective on the game world that's almost as immersive as full VR. There's no head-tracking, but the game world still fills my field of view and is life-sized.

In an astonishing coincidence, a real VR port of Call of the Sea for the Oculus Quest 2[www.oculus.com] was released on the same day I started playing in 3D. I didn't find out about it until a day or two later. I don't have a Quest 2 or Quest Pro, so it wasn't an option for me, anyways.

So, all that's great. But what's even better is that the game is outstanding in its own right!

This is the adventure game I'd been looking for!
As mentioned, I'd purchased Humble Heroines to get a nice story and puzzle-adventure game with Syberia 4. I didn't enjoy it. So it's a shocking irony that one of the "extra" games I'd received in the bundle was actually the adventure gaming experience I'd failed to get with Syberia: The World B-4.

Call of the Sea is created in the modern style of adventure games where it's a slick and polished first-person perspective with smooth first-person shooter-style controls. Syberia B-4's pointing-and-clicking in a fully 3D rendered game world remains terrible and frustrating.

The similarities between CotS and SB-4 are actually astonishing. Both are about a woman finding clues to uncover past events, but CotS did it 10x better. Norah is intimately connected to what's going on, and there's a sense of urgency about finding her "pal" (her husband) and hopefully a cure for her 'condition.' Syberia: The World Before was a woman on a quixotic and silly quest to identify a young woman in a 60-year old sketch. It's absurd to compare the premises of these two adventure games.

❤️ Norah
Even though Kate Walker is one of my favorite adventure game heroines, I didn't have a good time with her in Syberia B-4. In CotS, Norah was a better Kate Walker than K.W. herself!

Even though the game is the typical lonely journey of adventure games, both classic and modern, she has a lot to say. The extensive use of inner-monologue makes her a real character and I thought it was very well written.

I was able to understand how this strange journey was affecting Norah. Her dialogue was written appropriate to the time period of the game, in the 1930s. When combined with the outstanding voice actress, I thoroughly enjoyed this main character.

Vaguely Lovecrafty
Yes, this game involves cosmic horror, but it's not about that. There are typical themes about terrors in the deep, evil rituals and "Elder Gods" get mentioned by name. But these are inspirations for the backdrop of the main story: Norah uncovering the mystery of the expedition and slowing discovering the truth of who she is. The game isn't trying to be scary, either.

It has to be said that Syberia: The World B-4 did the same storyline with Kate Walker gradually learning about her true heritage as she searches for the woman (now very old, if she's even alive) in that drawing. There's also a music box that serves as the link to her past! Did the developers of Syberia B-4 take inspiration from Call of the Sea?

A modern puzzle/adventure game
Puzzles in Call of the Sea are mostly environmental interactions. It has clever adaptations of puzzle types that would normally be something you'd play on a piece of paper or on a screen; not with giant, ancient mechanisms. The puzzles being objects in the game world enhanced the playability of this game in stereoscopic 3D. Great!

In keeping with modern adventure game design, these puzzles are self-contained in an area and don't have obscure solutions. Everything you need to solve a puzzle is in the area, somewhere. There's a notebook Norah writes log entries into, which often aids in solving puzzles.

One complaint
There's exactly one problem I had with the game. I completed the game and wanted to replay the last chapter to see the other ending. But the chapter select menu only had the prologue available. I got achievements for completing chapters, so this was very unexpected. I can find online videos of the other ending, but I wanted to view it myself in immersive stereoscopic 3D. Oh, well.

Let's end the review now
There have been a significant number of talented small-time or unsigned bands that I've discovered through sheer luck, whose music I have been blown away by. The odds were stacked against me ever discovering what they've created, but fortune graciously allowed for me to find them.

Call of the Sea is the first time I got that feeling with a video game. I'm glad I held off for a year on buying Syberia: The World Before (which I didn't even like) so that I'd instead get it along with CotS as part of a bundle from Humble Bundle.

Even though I'd got the game completely free a few weeks earlier, that wasn't sufficient for me to go outside of my already full list of must-play games to give it a try. Everything had to happen exactly as it did for me to play the game and eventually write this glowing review. That self-same review is getting way too long, so let's end the review now.

Call of the Sea a été une incroyable surprise pour ma part.

Mélange habile de mythe lovecraftien couplé à de l’aventure pulp avec un soupçon de Jules Vernes, Call of the Sea propose une odyssée narrative réussie, matinée de puzzles qui fonctionne à merveille, le tout dans une atmosphère tropicale absolument délicieuse.

La grande force du jeu réside dans le ton adopté : une relecture contemporaine fascinante du mythe qui délaisse l’horreur et l’angoisse propre à la figure des grands anciens pour la curiosité et le sentiment d’émerveillement.

Une approche originale, et plutôt inédite qui place d’emblée le jeu comme l’une des meilleures adaptations vidéoludiques de l’univers de Lovecraft. Non-seulement, les auteurs ont compris le pouvoir de suggestion de l’œuvre (l’expédition de Harry) mais ils ont sciemment décidé d’emprunter une autre direction, d’adopter un point de vue à la fois proche de l’Humain mais également du « monstre ».

Très éloignée des clichés du genre, de la routine horrifique proposées par les autres adaptations, Call of The Sea arrive donc à tirer son épingle du jeu tout en offrant une aventure romantique qui aborde la quête des origines et de l'émancipation. Le tout dans un écrin des plus somptueux : un direction artistique chatoyante maitrisée de bout en bout et un aspect sonore véritablement plaisant.

Call of the sea, est beau, émouvant, bien écrit, attachant et plus important que tout : il m’a bouleversé dans son approche, son idée à la fois si simple et si belle de sa réinterprétation de la "Rêverie d'Innsmouth".

Plus jamais je ne lirais lovecraft de la même manière.

Call of the sea - это достойный внимания инди-тайтл.
Золотой самородок в куче перегноя, блеск которого легко не заметить.

Я имею ввиду, что «Зов моря» - это в первую очередь головоломка. Не просто нагроможденная неуместными ребусами игра, чтобы искусственно оттянуть время, а искусно обрисованные фресками древней цивилизации тайны. Но, как гласит правило потребителя: мы здесь не для созидания и решения, а для хлеба и зрелищ! Поэтому, и не только, данный проект жанра - «головоломка», легко не заметить. А тем более не каждому придется по нраву трогательная история, повязшая в поиске сердечного друга, который, в свою очередь, отправился на поиски лекарства от нашей неизвестной науке болезни.

Прошу любить и жаловать. Хотя можете и не любить.


Заметил, немногие рецензенты пишут: «Я Лавкрафта не читал, в игре нечево непонел, поэтому не советую играть без знаний о мифах Ктулху». Это совершенно глупый, необоснованный критерий, ибо напротив - древние тайны острова самостоятельные; хоть и были вдохновленные Лавкрафтовым стилем. Не обошлось и без таинственной мифологии предков Полинезии - племени Тики, которые имеют легенды с монолитными истуканами на острове Пасхи.

Резюмируя вышеизложенное, можно сказать, что от Лавкрафта мы получаем морскую глубину мистических событий. Остров дарит нам сказочное наслаждение тропических широт. Собирательство информации о головоломках, ведение дневника о результатах поиска мужа подталкивает себя чувствовать Ларой из имения Крофт. История иллюстрирует силу любви или принятия. Полинезийская мифология же - это очень подходящий простор для безумно жутких, жестоких божеств и фантазий Лавкрафта. У меня всё. Спасибо.

First of all, the game is not bad, however, it is hard for me to recommend it to someone. This is the type of game that focuses on story and puzzles, unfortunately, i think it fails to deliver a meaningful experience at the end.

Good
- The art is gorgeous, graphics are great, lighting is really nice. If you like strong environments in games this is for you.

- Good and steady performance.

- I really like the fact that the protagonist writes everything down. This prevents (most of the time) backtracking a lot... thank god! because backtracking in this game is painful.

Bad
- Movement as a whole is annoying. The speed of the protagonist is super slow. The problem IMO is that there isn't a "Toggle run button" option in the accessibility menu, which means that you will have to hold the Left shift button during the entire game. To me this is probably the main reason why i can't recommend this game.

- Puzzles in this game have the same problem many games have: they do not belong to the world they are in. Just to be clear, the puzzles are not "boring" but they aren't fun either. A good puzzle doesn't feel like a puzzle. During the journey you will feel like a lab rat solving one problem after another. For a game that orbitates around puzzle solving this can be bad.
Also, good puzzles could help with world building and story.

- The story is OK i guess. The problem IMO is that it ends up being just another lovecraftian weird story without answers. It seems like the story was there just to justify some puzzles and not the other way around.

Avec une très belle narration, son style cartoon en ombrage de celluloïd, ses couleurs chatoyantes et sa réalisation soignée, Call of the Sea se parcourt avec plaisir. On est certes seul(e) sur cette île, mais le personnage principal parle régulièrement pour partager ses pensées et on évite ainsi le sentiment de vide qui est un peu l'écueil de bon nombre de jeux d'aventure où il n'y a pas de personnages avec lesquels interagir.

Je l'ai acheté lorsqu'il était en promotion et franchement, je ne regrette absolument pas.

Le seul hic est sa durée de vie, environ 5 heures pour finir le jeu, un peu plus pour collecter tous les secrets et autres trophées, même si cela se fait très bien avec le système de sélection de chapitre.

Autre éventuel bémol : malgré sa plastique, les thèmes abordés ne sont pas particulièrement réjouissants et le jeu devra sans doute être tenu éloigné des enfants les plus sensibles (à condition qu'ils sachent par ailleurs lire, Call of the Sea étant uniquement sous-titré).

Eu sempre fui um admirador de jogos "Lovecraftianos" ou que bebem da fonte de H.P Lovecraft. Adorei essa estética do jogo misturando estruturas criadas por seres humanos como tendas e mecanismos com estruturas quase que divinas e mágicas da ilha. Cada level é mais imersivo que o outro e no final das contas achei barato pelo preço que paguei.

Infelizmente é um jogo curto, joguei bem lentamente e mesmo assim em menos de 6 horas eu zerei. Mas como dividi em 3 dias, acabei não sentindo uma sensação de quem teria sentido sentando por 6 horas seguidas de uma vez.

Enfim nota 9.5/10. Trilha sonora muito bonita com músicas originais e resgastes históricos incríveis, conquistas satisfatórias de se ir atrás, história bem contadinha, narração boa. Se tu gosta de jogos de puzzle e história e de quebra curte Lovecraft, Call of The sea é perfeito. :)

I had a good time !

What drew me into this game was the fact that it looked so pretty, and this was no disappointment. Also, i like puzzle-adventure games, and i was happy to get into that once again.

I have a few critics about Call of the Sea though :
- The adventure is too guided to my taste. It's like following a rail. It can be a positive point for those who just wanna enjoy the atmosphere, discover the story without too much thinking. Not saying the puzzles are obvious either, but overall it felt too easy. And the story... it's typical Lovecraft. That's great, but it felt like it's always the same... no surprise, no suspense, i got a feeling that i saw it all already :/
- The main character wasn't realistic in my opinion, and this broke my immersion by A LOT. Spoilers for those interested : She is searching for her husband who disappeared on the island, but she acts so calmly and it a detached manner that it feels she doesn't care a bit. Aren't you worried for the one you love ? From the beginning to the end, her reactions don't match the situation at all, and i think it's a pitty.
- The gameplay : you can't jump, you can't die... and it feels so linear ! I wish the gameplay would change along with the story : going darker -> going less easy, less obvious ?

Overall, i feel like the devs wanted to make a beautiful, feel good game, and i think they pulled it off. That's just not what i expect from games anymore, cause it makes them feel predictable, slick, maybe even a little soulless. But i still had a good time playing this game, and i'm sure many people will !

Call of the Sea is a puzzle adventure with light horror elements. The female protagonist searches for her husband in a desolate island in Tahiti, whom set out to discover a cure for his wife's mysterious disease.

Positive:
- Amazing visuals. Instead of going with a dark and sinister tone designers opted for bright colours and almost cartoonish textures, which worked surprising well for this type of a game. Environment design is also top notch, especially underwater levels. Do yourself a favour and try to play this game on a big screen.

- This was definitely one of the better Lovecraft inspired stories I have ever seen. The pacing, characters and everything was well above average. It is not easy to pull of Lovecraft like that, writers did a very good job.

- Designers managed to keep puzzles easy and interesting at the same time. Most easy puzzle adventures end up being boring, but I never felt that with Call of the Sea.

Negative:

- Although I said that puzzles being easy is not a problem, I actually wished that game got a bit more difficult towards the end. The progression of difficulty was very nice in the beginning. But the difficulty saturates around the halfway point and it doesn't get any more challenging. There is a bit of a wasted potential there, because there were some very interesting puzzles in the second half, which would have benefited greatly from being more difficult and complex (for instance the alien language puzzle, or the underwater currents puzzle).

- Game is a bit on the short side, it took me around 6 hours to beat it. I can understand that not all games need to be long, but I really wished there was a bit more challenging puzzles and gameplay.

- The default walking and running speed is a bit slow, which becomes annoying in the larger areas in later chapters. I wish there was a slider to adjust that.

Conclusion:

Call of the Sea is a fine little puzzle adventure with awesome graphics and interesting (albeit easy) puzzles. It also has a very solid Lovecraft inspired story. I would recommend it to the fans of this genre. That being said, I would have easily bumped the score to an 8/10 if there were more challenging puzzles and longer gameplay, especially in later chapters of the game.

Score: 7/10.

공식한글화 / 도전과제 O /트레이딩 카드 X

사라진 남편의 흔적을 쫓아 기이한 문명의 유적이 있는 미지의 섬에 도착한 노라를 플레이 하는 스토리 중심의 퍼즐 게임입니다 !
맵 곳곳에 남편과 조사대가 남긴 흔적을 잘 수집하고, 섬의 이곳저곳을 돌아다니며 퍼즐을 풀어야 합니다.
퍼즐을 풀기 위한 힌트는 맵 곳곳을 돌아다니며 상호작용하면 알아서 일지에 저장되는데 그것을 보시고 풀면 됩니다.
그런데 주인공 노라가 병에 걸려 있어 빨리 걷기를 해도 많이 느려서 약간 답답하실 수도 있습니다ㅜ
하지만 한글화도 잘 되어 있고 풀 더빙 스토리는 매우매우 만족스러우실거에요~
플탐은 6~7시간 정도이고, 도전과제는 꼼꼼히 이곳저곳 살펴보신다면 1회차에 올클리어 가능합니다.
혹시나 빼먹은게 있더라도 챕터 선택화면에 뭐가 부족한지 잘 나와있어 괜찮습니다.
매우매우 추천드리며, 조금 여운이 남는 게임이네요 ㅎㅎㅎ

This game was a complete surprise for me, I haven't heard from it before, it appeared on a suggested list.
If you liked games like Monkey Island, or puzzle games in general, you're going to have fun with this one.
It has a beautiful story, different and it will keep you going.
You can feel the dedication and love put in the game, I hope they keep making more games, it would be a 10/10... if you get to interact and see more characters, so you don't feel so alone.

Игра представляет собой спокойную бродилку, врагов в игре нет, умереть или упасть с какой-нибудь скалы не дадут. Игроку предлагается полностью сосредоточится на сюжете, сборе информации и головоломках. Нужно это все, собственно, для раскрытия сюжета, поэтому максимальное исследование приветствуется и вознаградит игрока полной картиной происходящего. Плюс на каждом уровне находится две относительно крупные головоломки, которые нужно решать, собирая в журнал и анализируя информацию, а также головоломки помельче, которые просто решаются на месте, без дополнительных подсказок – какие-то мостики выставить или кнопки нажать в определенном порядке.

Головоломки сделаны очень неплохо, для крупных задачек выглядит это так – игрок находит головоломку и осматривает местность, находя различные подсказки, которые моментально заносятся в журнал, который в любое время можно открыть и подумать над решением. После нахождения всех подсказок, необходимо понять логику решения и выполнить ряд действий. За редким исключением, все головоломки сделаны достаточно логично и на основе собранной информации без проблем можно догадаться о решении.

Вся информация в журнале сохраняется после прохождения, а также можно подгружать любой уровень, пройденный ранее – достаточно сохранить игру в произвольном месте, потом выбрать уровень в меню, а позже вернуться к сохранению. В этом случае можно даже искать пропущенные заметки – тогда записи журнала в более позднем сохранении будут заполняться добранной информацией из предыдущих уровней - благо процент собранной информации отображается при произвольном выборе уровня. Зачем все это нужно – конечно же, для достижений - основной процент собранных заметок способствует только погружению в атмосферу. А для понимания сюжета будет достаточно беглого осмотра местности.

В игре очень интересный дизайн уровней. Их на самом деле немного, всего 7, но мне очень понравилось, как они передают атмосферу происходящего. Начинается игра на солнечном берегу, где все ярко, красочно и спокойно. Птички, яркое окружение – почти ничего не омрачает наше повествование и перспективы смотрятся оптимистично. Далее мы попадаем на объемную локацию ночного берега, который, наоборот, вызывает только уныние, тревогу и неизвестность. А берег в свою очередь перетекает в утренний дождь, когда все тревоги смываются вместе с пылью и картинка вновь становится чистой и яркой. Дальше уже дело обстоит похуже, так как игра переходит в финальную часть, а там уже не до красот, так как дело идет к развязке.

В минусы игры записать практически и нечего, отмечу лишь отсутствие возможности пропускать сценки на движке игры, что немного напрягает при повторном прохождении уровней.
Ну и надо понимать, что это конечно инди, а не супер-пупер проект и ожидать чего-то этакого от игры не следует. Но в рамках схожей весовой категории, игра вполне на уровне по качеству.

《Call of the sea》雖然帶有一點克蘇魯神話內容,但完全沒有洛式恐怖元素。它有著好聽的音樂、色彩豐富的畫面、有趣的解謎以及可歌可泣的愛情故事。

P.S.
  1. 由於女主角身體不太好,雖然有跑步功能,但實際體驗比較像是“快走”,導致我有時候差點失去耐心…
  2. 少數能令我暈眩的鏡頭,盯著螢幕四處找物件時,會有點小痛苦。

我目前玩过最最最最最最拖沓的游戏!!!!!奔着冒险和剧情丰富的tag来玩的,对我而言是进大坑了!!!

首先是 奇慢无比的移动速度,路边奶奶推轮椅都比你主角加速跑跑得快!!上个梯子一分钟,下个梯子一分钟,更加可恶的是居然中间有一个场景特地给你做了个塔楼,要爬两段梯子!!!!肯定是故意的吧?!!!而且!每段解密场景还都很大,你要是搜集信息漏了一个,卡关卡在那里本来就够烦躁了,我还要控制主角从地图的这一头慢慢爬到另一头!!!!

其次!剧情看了开头就能猜到结尾!!推到一半我只想对着攻略赶快把这个游戏结束!

此外,在玩这个游戏之前我从来没有体验到晕3D是什么感觉,谢谢你让我感觉到了!

整体游戏的节奏让我开2分钟就想把游戏关了,再结合3D眩晕以及有时候解不开的谜题,玩这款游戏的六小时让我备受煎熬!

I was drawn to this game for the beautiful artwork, music, interesting lore, and puzzles—all of which are very enjoyable. I would recommend this game for those reasons.

Unfortunately, the camera controls with the mouse gave me motion sickness (the first game ever to do so for me). I endured uncomfortable feelings as long as I could, thinking I would get used to it, but after 45 mins my stomach and head couldn't take anymore. Changing settings like FOV, motion blur, and lower graphics quality weren't enough to counteract the sickness. I think the camera movement's acceleration is a large contributor to the problem I'm experiencing. Even with motion blur turned off, everything seems to blur together when turning—like riding a carousel.

I would love to be able to recommend this game—it is clear an immense amount of passion went into its creation—but unfortunately I won't be able to experience it for myself in its current state. If you are susceptible to motion sickness, beware!

Я могу поднять взрослую лошадь над головой. Могу задержать дыхание на десять минут. Я не чувствую боли и способна видеть мельчайшие детали на расстоянии 3 километра. Ни один человек не способен меня убить. Я победила человека каждой расы в боях без правил, включая Турков, Пигмеев и Глубоководных Евреев. Врач и два священника подписали документ, доказывающий, что у меня нет души. Я по желанию меняю биологический вид. Я ломаю остров одной рукой. Но я не могу найти мужа, который потерявся...

首先,这是一款视觉十分享受,音乐也十分迷人的步行模拟解谜游戏。随便截个图都能当壁纸,bgm也很舒缓,很让人愉悦。但是解密是不是难度太高了?我是来享受剧情和风景的,就好比有一个非常好的电影摆在面前,我却只能边跑边看。经常卡关查攻略,我差点怀疑是不是我的智商出了问题。
还有女主走的也太慢了吧,本来美好的心情被高难度的谜题和女主便秘的速度毁的一干二净。
不过我还是推荐了吧,这个价格这个品质的游戏还是非常值得一玩的,总的来说,瑕不掩瑜。
打分7.5/10。

Лодка с главной героиней медленно плывёт по направлению к скрытому постоянным туманом полинезийскому острову из ранее увиденного сна. Играет эпичная музыка, как в классических приключенческих фильмах о сокрытых тайнах прошлого, подстегивающая к исследованиям. «А это точно не игра по Стивенсону или Верну?» Первое впечатление оказывается неожиданным, но игре еще предстоит удивить далеко не единожды.

Нора Эверхарт мучается от таинственной болезни много лет, а её муж, бесследно пропадает в поисках лекарства в далекой Полинезии. Другая бы мысленно похоронила пассию, но только не она. Приключение, которое её увлечет, откроет множество тайн. Исчезнувший народ, древние механизмы, бесконечные головоломки и околоволшебные ритуалы – классические атрибуты в наличии. Но главный секрет сокрыт в самой Норе.

«Call of the Sea» представляет собой приключенческую игру, сочетающую симулятор ходьбы с решением головоломок и изучением окружающего мира. Причем все задания гармонично «встроены» в созданную авторами действительность. Сложность растет постепенно, а в журнал Нора записывает всё найденные подсказки, что помогает справляться с трудностями.
Обладая многочисленными отсылками к творчеству Лавкрафта, игра рассказывает самостоятельную историю. Причем прохождение «Call of the Sea» можно смело назвать самым «безопасным» для особо впечатлительных игроков, желающих приобщиться к тематике глубоководных тайн, но нежелающих при этом быть напуганными. Термин «лавкрафтовский ужас» определенно не про эту игру. Яркая и спокойная цветовая гамма соответствует общей атмосфере приключения, несмотря на наличие в сюжете событий с фатальным исходом.
Арт-дизайн и общее графическое исполнение игры находится на высшем уровне. Местные водопады посреди тропиков и солнечные закаты заставят часто остановить путь и просто полюбоваться окружением. Музыка великолепна, как и аудио-сопровождение. Главная героиня интересно комментирует происходящее, так и каждую найденную улику. Претензия лишь к первым главам игры. Очень уж спокойно ведет себя Нора, оказавшись одна на необитаемом острове. От этого в происходящее иногда перестаешь верить.

На что готов человек ради любви? Что важнее: уготованная судьба или преданность вопреки? Игра задаёт эти вопросы, но не мучает прямой излишней философией, чтобы игрок сам определил для себя основу «Call of the Sea». Несмотря на суть главной тайны, до которой может догадаться игрок в самом начале, игре удается удивить парочкой сюжетных поворотов, избежав использования излишне заурядных приемов. Рекомендую к прохождению.

算不錯的劇情,結尾有兩個選項,
但感覺好像都沒差多少XD

後面有些謎題太難了,
像第四章的山頂小屋要翻譯壁畫那個真的不知道到底怎麼解

有些又會故意用符號擾亂,
讓人想到一個腦子爆炸然後才發現符號不是重點:D
(像: 第四章要放水那裏 )

撇除難到無法理解的一兩個解謎外,
其實就是一個走路看故事的遊戲XD

----------------------------------------------------------------------
一些需要思考或需要找到關鍵的解法:

第二章
稜鏡:需要去看被羅伊爆破過那口井的裡面
爬下去後把每個井壁上的眼睛都看過一次
筆記本就會有三種瞳孔樣式->回去稜鏡那
把那三種瞳孔的樣子全部打上去
(稜鏡最後會是三個疊圖的概念)

第三章
風琴:1.要先在船上把懸浮的黑液的頻率找到
(打開開關、每個旋鈕會讓其中兩個做移動、
要到一定高度才會亮綠燈 三顆黑液都要亮綠燈)
*得到的那三組頻率會是線索
2.取得頻率後 到海灘上找日曆
*得到當天是7號 剛好是新月的線索
3.找投影機

Great game!

Call of the Sea is a new take on Lovecraft’s lore with a vivid introduction that enhances the moments when the game transitions into darker waters!. Call of the Sea might be short but It is a highly rewarding puzzle adventure that should be played by all fans of the genre.

Great Music!

Call of the Sea convida o jogador a explorar uma ilha misteriosa, na costa do Taiti, em 1934 e tentar decifrar o inexplicado desaparecimento de uma expedição arqueológica. O grupo, liderado por Harry, procurava, nas ruínas locais e nas lendas que cercam a região, uma cura para a estranha condição que acomete Norah. Após um longo período sem notícias de seu marido, ela recebe pelo correio um pacote com uma foto antiga, uma chave com as iniciais C.W. e uma bizarra adaga.

A partir dessas pistas, embarcamos em uma jornada da qual não sairemos da mesma forma que entramos. Vestimos a pele de Norah e somos acompanhados pela sua bela narração até os últimos minutos de um jogo curto, mas marcante. Parte do charme que nos cativa emerge justamente da dublagem excepcional de Cissy Jones, veterana dos jogos eletrônicos (ele foi a voz de Delilah, em Firewatch, entre tantos outros trabalhos). O resto do elenco também faz um bom trabalho, mas a quase onipresença de Norah é sustentada pelo carisma do roteiro e pelo talento de Jones.

Norah é então a coluna que sustenta essa narrativa. Atormentada por visões perturbadoras de outras realidades ou vidas, seu corpo doente se revigora ao ouvir o chamado do mar que batiza o jogo. Através dela, vivemos essa aventura, entendemos seus dilemas e somos conduzidos até uma escolha final que será o ápice de uma história que fala mais sobre aceitação do que sobre horrores, mais sensível do que macabro. No estouro do trovão de uma noite chuvosa, Call of the Sea é uma agridoce fábula que talvez colocasse um sorriso na face sisuda do próprio Lovecraft.

Nem tudo no jogo é o que parece ser e isso inclui seu trailer e seu material publicitário. A opinião que eu tinha de Call of The Sea (compartilhada por um camarada jornalista), é que teríamos aqui um "walking simulator" em uma ilha tropical. Esperava elementos da cultura pulp fiction dos anos 30, alguma bravata, um Uncharted sem ação.

O que a Out of Blue entrega é o oposto de tudo isso. A ambientação é pesada do meio para o final. A beleza da Unreal Engine com seus ambientes coloridos, que invariavelmente remetem a Fortnite, até está presente nos capítulos iniciais, mas cede lugar a um clima soturno, com passagens subterrâneas, uma noite tempestuosa e muito horror corporal.

Infelizmente, aqui aparece também um velho problema do motor gráfico, a escuridão excessiva nos cantos, um fenômeno que eu já havia percebido no quase visualmente impecável Draugen. Supostamente, é possível ajustar o brilho nas configurações gráficas, mas o jogo insiste em ignorar o que foi alterado no instante em que saímos da tela de menu. Para agravar a situação, as telas capturadas se mostraram ainda mais escuras do que aquilo que eu via no monitor e algumas acabaram nem entrando nessa análise.

Passada a introdução da chegada de Norah na ilha, o título vai alternando momentos de deslumbre visual com passagens de angústia, flertando com a insanidade e o terror cósmico que você espera de Lovecraft. Ainda assim, Call of the Sea nunca cede à tentação de mergulhar de cabeça nos clichês repetidos à exaustão por todos aqueles que se deixaram influenciar pelos mitos de Cthulhu. Temos, desta forma, um jogo que puxa o jogador pelo braço por múltiplas emoções: apreensão, medo ancestral, encantamento, liberdade de tirar o fôlego, dúvidas, tensão, tristeza.

Em entrevista concedida ao Gamespot, a diretora do jogo, Tatiana Delgado, explicou que "Call of the Sea não é uma descida para a loucura, mas uma ascensão para a sanidade". Definitivamente, esse não é o Call of Cthulhu de tempos passados.

Da mesma forma, esperava puzzles simples, um Firewatch polinésio, no máximo. Novamente, um susto. A desenvolvedora toma uma decisão que irá testar a perseverança dos jogadores: os enigmas não são do nível básico. A memória mais próxima é o trabalho dos anos 90, na série Myst.

Traquitanas extremamente complexas exigem que o jogador decifre seu funcionamento e busque entender o que seus criadores desejam que seja feito. Isso, muitas vezes, não casa completamente com a situação e eu me peguei perguntando múltiplas vezes quem (ou o quê) teria concebido mecanismos tão antinaturais para realizar tarefas simples como regular uma queda de água ou mesmo estender uma ponte levadiça.

Felizmente, talvez para desespero dos puristas, Norah é uma observadora sagaz. Ela tece comentários sobre praticamente tudo que vê ou toca e faz anotações sobre os elementos mais importantes do enredo, assim como sobre as pistas fundamentais de cada enigma. Ainda assim, mesmo com todas as informações na sua frente, é possível perder um tempo enorme buscando uma forma de aplicar esses dados no cenário. Afinal, o que é pra fazer?

A Out of Blue desenvolve uma fórmula para Call of The Sea. Primeiro, introduz Norah em um novo cenário. É o momento de ela investigar quase item por item em busca de informações sobre o paradeiro da expedição de seu marido. Não é segredo que o desenrolar desse trabalho quase de detetive é uma rede de tragédias, que vão aumentando com um crescente.

Há algo de hostil na ilha que não deseja a presença de forasteiros. O lugar simplesmente não foi criado para o Homem. O estúdio espanhol realiza um excelente trabalho de narrativa ambiental, com fragmentos distribuídos de forma orgânica que pintam esse grande mural do destino de cada integrante da expedição.

Em um segundo momento, Norah irá esbarrar em algum obstáculo que a impede de ir para o próximo cenário, prosseguir com sua busca pela verdade. É nessa parte que o jogo perde um pouco de seu ritmo, seja com puzzles que exigem percorrer grandes distâncias, indo e voltando, seja com puzzles que exigem um bocado de massa cinzenta. Confesso que em três partes contei com a ajuda de um colega que estava mais avançado no jogo do que eu.

Um empurrão na direção certa e as peças se encaixavam na minha cabeça. Sem qualquer tipo de regulador de dificuldade, os puzzles certamente serão uma barreira para muitos jogadores atraídos apenas por seu universo fascinante. Por outro lado, sem o dreno de tempo de seus puzzles, a experiência seria ainda mais curta do que as cerca de 8 horas consumidas por mim nessa jornada. Curiosamente, e o Steam registrou equivocadamente 21 horas gastas aqui no PC. Um bug ou as leis do tempo e do espaço não se aplicam mesmo nessa ilha?

Call of the Sea é possivelmente a surpresa do ano ou minha memória já não é mais a mesma em um ano que parece ter durado uma década. Cada uma das minhas expectativas foi revertida ao longo de sua travessia. Algumas foram ruins, como a dificuldade exacerbada dos enigmas, outras foram tão positivas que me deram forças para levar o raciocínio ao limite e tirar a poeira de velhas engrenagens e sinapses.

Terminei o jogo com lágrimas, que não eram nem de pura tristeza, nem de puro júbilo, uma contradição final que coroa o título da Out of the Blue como um dos meus favoritos de 2020. Raras foram as vezes em que acompanhei os créditos de um jogo sem pular. Ali, naquele momento sagrado, a música mais uma vez exerce um papel de peso, com uma faixa da época que diz muito sobre o jogo e o relacionamento entre Norah e Harry.

Para minha última surpresa, há uma cena depois dos créditos. E, como tudo mais, em Call of the Sea, ela é mágica e dolorosa.

开始觉得是个克系悬疑故事,可恶,原来是爱情故事。被狗粮喂到。
解密层面,第四章搞得我头痛,直接宣布投降看了一下攻略。其他章节比较平稳。
手柄玩比较舒适,键鼠玩的时候觉得镜头很粘稠,需要设置里面调整一下。
推荐。

另外,侧面说明了一个好的克系的必要条件就是要有克,但不要沾太多克。

我的评分 9.5/10
非常好,通关后还让人感到意犹未尽,美工和剧情非常nice,演出很震撼,谜题的设计很巧妙,场景很美,音乐很棒,细节做的很到位,各种蒙太奇手法也细腻地刻画了主角的心理,美中不足的是角色走路有点慢,一些剧情的推进也显得过于急促,没有把背景都充分解密,比如香农夫人号是怎么搁浅的,古城提到的奴隶到底是什么生物,甚至最后高潮部分主角在圣堂发现丈夫的“尸体”后的为玩家揭示真相的过程更让我感觉这是主角接受不了事实而臆想出来的。。。
不过总体上还是瑕不掩瑜,我本来以为是克苏鲁系悬疑游戏,没想到这游戏讲的是个感人肺腑的爱情故事,对克苏鲁神话不太了解的玩家也能明白,结局我泪目了。。。( Ĭ ^ Ĭ )虽然在结局我们可以选择接受命运,回归大海
或者回去陪伴丈夫度过余生,但我还是选择了陪伴丈夫的结局,因为我想诺拉本人也会这么选择吧。。。
真正的爱情也许就如诺拉所说“各色爱情故事不会止于结婚典礼,葬礼才是这些故事最终的结局”,不向命运低头,让弱小的生命随着爱散发余热,陪伴着真爱度过自己的余生,这又何尝不是人类爱情的伟大之处?
当然,你也可以选择接受自己的命运,回归大海,回到你归属的地方。。。永远的离开原来的世界。在结局制作人员列表时,如果是回归大海,桌上二人合照的照片就是1930年的,这里的诺拉已经离开了亨利(丈夫),留下的只有回忆了;如果选择回家,桌上的照片就是1946年的,照片上诺拉的黑色斑点更多了,二人唱歌唱到后面诺拉也会咳嗽(细节啊)。
总之,我推荐。虽然作为一款独立游戏,不能说这是“神作”,但这绝对是一款十分优秀的游戏。

На первый взгляд ничем не примечательная квест-адвенчура оказывается очень эффектным и атмосферным опытом. Поиски пропавшего мужа выливаются в нечно, ну совсем уж непредсказуемое. С каждым уровнем, становится все интересней, а что же будет дальше? И игра не разочарует вас в этом вопросе. Также порадовало наличие плавного повествования, с небольшой порцией флешбеков и кучей исследования. Главная героиня тоже прописана замечательно, каждое событие меняет ее на глазах и заставляет сопережевать происходящему. Также стоит отметить наличие не самых простых головоломок, но их исполнение просто наивысшее (чего только стоит звуковая головоломка с морским органом). В общем не ожидал от нее ничего особенного, а получил яркое и насыщенное приключение, которое на какое-то время не даст о себе забыть. Рекомендую.

Sights & Sounds
- The visuals (both graphically and aesthetically) are outstanding. I started playing it on my monitor, but wound up switching to the TV and maxing out the FOV to really take it in
- The sound design is excellent in terms of effects and voice acting, but I found it necessary to bump down the environmental sounds a bit. Distant objects were often too noisy, making things a bit disorienting initially. The menu sounds were also unnecessarily loud. I was wearing headphones, so YMMV
- The background music worked well to complement the mysterious, surreal scenery. The original vocal tracks were also well-written and well-performed
- All in all, after a little tweaking, the presentation of this game is very impressive for an indie studio. Just wish the menu noises didn't hurt my eardrums

Story & Vibes
- The story is a carefully crafted Lovecraftian mystery. Usually, games involving Lovecraftian lore wind up leaning strongly into the horror aspects of the mythos. This game doesn't, sometimes to a fault
- It's not that I wanted this to be a horror game per se; rather, I wish it could have hit some of those notes without changing its tune completely. The game does try to inject those vibes from time to time, but the game expertly kneecaps itself with Norah remarking how unafraid she is on multiple occasions. Plot-wise, it makes sense, but it kinda ruins the emotional impact of some scenes
- I guess I just think that I wanted it to be a thriller instead of just a mystery. The plot is excellent, but a few more frightening moments would have really taken the experience up another notch

Playability & Replayability
- It's a 1st-person point & click puzzle-focused adventure game with light investigation mechanics. In a nutshell, that means you'll be walking around, reading stuff, putting together clues, and feeling stupid about not seeing solutions sooner
- If you've played What Remains of Edith Finch, this plays a lot like that
- While I'm not seeing a replay on the horizon, I did enjoy my experience enough to go back and get the achievements I missed. I wouldn't have been motivated to do this were it not for the extremely convenient chapter select menu

Overall Impressions & Performance
- If you're into adventure games and enjoy Lovecraftian themes, this is definitely worth your money. It's just a matter of how much you think a 6-8 hour playthrough is worth
- There was a little stuttering at times (had to turn vsync on), but not enough to be bothersome. It's a really minor gripe

Final Verdict
- 8.5/10. This game does everything right. Hell, it does everything well. If it leaned just a tiny bit harder on the horror to add a couple thrills, this would be a classic. That said, it's still extremely good

For the life of me, I cannot understand how Call of the Sea is as highly reviewed as it is. This game was an utter disappointment. A beautiful shell with an empty interior, it's only real upside is the sheer graphical fidelity.

Let's start with that good part, the graphics. The game is gorgeous. I have barely any complaints on the graphical department. You have epic set-pieces, serene natural paths, and a great deal of environmental variety. Plenty of spots are perfect for just admiring, and at no point does the art style itself detract from the experience. Something I will come back to later though, is the lack of any actual character models. Nora is the only actual 3d character we ever see moving, and we only ever see her hands moving. There are 3d animated things, but actual 3d human characters just not there.

The audio design is a more mixed bag than the graphics. The voice acting is just... not good. You have the only real good part of it being (big surprise) Yuri Lowenthal, with the rest of the cast being a LOT worse at emoting and expression. The UI sounds are also just terribly annoying, with it sounding like a drop of water falling in a pond except it's happening right in your ear over and over again. The good is the music design and Yuri Lowenthal. Music is good, and Yuri did a great job with this role.

The gameplay though, is just baffling. It's a mix between a walking simulator and a puzzle game. The issue is that the puzzles are wildly inconsistent in quality, the walking is so incredibly slow, and it's never fun. Let's start with the walking part. You move at a snails pace, and "sprinting" just makes you move at a normal video game's walk speed. You also interact with things at a slow pace, with ladders being the most egregious offender. Do you like ladders being something that you interact with? Do you like the ladders having a 3 seconds animation of you getting on AND off them, and do you like moving up and down them being a slow process? Also there are puzzles past the ladders so I hope you don't mind not being able to complete a puzzle yet so you have to keep going up and down the ladder every time you think you've found the right answer.

The puzzles are just bad too. As previously said, Puzzles are both never fun and are wildly inconsistent in terms of quality. The puzzles range in difficulty from "a 5 year old could solve this easily" to making literally no sense at all. (Looking at you Organ puzzle) They also aren't at all interesting. I can forgive a puzzle game for having easy puzzles if the game either is incredibly unique or if it has a good story. We'll go over the story last, but this game is not incredibly unique at all. Games like Superliminal, Manifold Garden and Viewfinder are games that don't have difficult puzzles, but they make up for it in the sheer experience they offer. Evan's Remains is a good example of a game that doesn't have difficult puzzles but has a good enough story to make up for it. Call of the Sea does not impress on the puzzle front, at all.

Also good to note, that if you enjoy actually solving your puzzles then Call of the Sea is not for you. Nora, your player character, will literally spell out what you need to do for half the puzzles through her dialogue. For the other half she'll jot something down in a journal that is accessible almost anywhere and at anytime, and tells you exactly what you need to do. (except for some like the Organ puzzle) I know for a fact that people get upset when you're struggling with a puzzle and the game decides to just spell out the solution for you because it wants you to move on, God of War got a little flack for this itself. But for some reason this game is highly reviewed even though it does that for EVERY PUZZLE IN THE GAME FROM THE START.

The story isn't much better. It wants to be clever but, much like the puzzle "hints", it spells everything out the moment it becomes relevant. Nora will literally say exactly what is happening out loud for you to hear, removing any mystery from the situations and preventing you from having any "ah-ha!" moments of piecing things together. It's like she's reading you out a novel about her life, except she's all alone on an island and she keeps spoiling the story for whoever is listening. Seriously, whoever wrote Nora's dialogue, please never write dialogue again. Ever. There's also lovecraftian elements, tribal cultures and a love story but given how short the game is, none of it ever get's enough time to get interesting. It also is less than 4 hours long, for a $20 game, and you can 100% it in that time. Yikes.

I do wonder how much of the budget was spent on the graphical fidelity and on getting Yuri Lowenthal on the voice cast. Did they run out of enough money to, I don't know, make interesting puzzle or hire and actual writer? Did they not have enough budget to make 3d characters? Or was all this just thrown together because of some corporate mandate? Is the impossibly slow walking there to prevent the game from being under 2 hours so you can't refund it after finishing it? I don't know.

What I do know is that I did not enjoy this game and that I do not recommend it, at all.

Call of the Sea is an impressive debut title from Out of the Blue Games considering just how well they’ve managed to capture the essence of a traditional adventure game. The game takes players onto a captivating island full of secrecy, puzzles and hidden stories, and while sometimes the game fails to fully expand on these points, the high notes Call of the Sea achieves make it more than a worthwhile experience.

The Island
The visual presentation in Call of the Sea goes a long way with very simple graphics. Textures are very clean and readable, greatly complimented by the gorgeous lighting that makes exploration so intriguing and rewarding. The artstyle is simply gorgeous, there's plenty of opportunities to stop and admire the sights as every area is joyous to look at, a feeling that synergises with the gameplay so very well as many environmental details are essential for solving puzzles.

The environmental variety really keeps the game consistently interesting too. Every chapter has a very distinct visual style that keeps exploration fresh, and each chapter’s world beautifully reflects the tone of the story. There’s such a good contrast between the modern english explorer camps and the ancient island architecture that becomes really interesting as you delve further into the land, there's a lot of effort put into fleshing out how two separate societies have existed here.

The only downside would be the size of some areas are far too large and can be a big hindrance to puzzling. Norah moves fairly slowly, so running back and forth between landmarks could get tedious occasionally when you’ve seen everything in an area. It’s not a huge issue, but there are a couple specific moments in my memory that got quite annoying.

The Puzzles
The puzzles of the island are a pretty interesting mix. You’re going to be sensing a pattern immediately, as most of the puzzles resolve around deciphering and understanding symbols to achieve various results in the world. Despite the repetition, these puzzles were always pretty interesting to solve. I liked seeing how the world would change after I figured something out, and I think they’re ingrained into the environment very well.

Usually the puzzles that went outside this formula were a bit less successful. Mostly infrequent, there were a couple puzzles I found to be irritating to work around and uninteresting to figure out. One relied on specific timing of inputs which didn’t really mesh with the rest of the game, and another seemed to ask for a very specific answer while giving so little information that it remained annoyingly hard even with all of the clues.

Thankfully, the diary mechanic is a wonderful addition that keeps these puzzles on track. Any information about the story or the puzzles you find will be immediately added to a diary you can always access. The information is always neatly indexed here so that you know if you’re missing important pieces, and I found the notation style and the journal entries themselves really helped flesh out Norah as a character.

The Expedition
The actual narrative of Call of the Sea is probably it’s weakest point, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t highlights. The best part I found was the pacing, the gradual drip feed of information about the expedition crew kept me engaged with the events of the narrative. It’s a very familiar story structure, but the execution is quite nice as things slowly start to get more eerie for the expedition crew.

Unfortunately, I don’t think the actual events within the story were very interesting. The initial questions posed have some good pay offs, but as a whole I struggled to connect with the events at hand. For the amount of time we spend researching the expedition crew, we learn disappointingly little about them, and while Norah’s story was interesting, I felt as though it failed to carry a full narrative, and we should’ve had more investment with the other characters.

Norah as a focal point is perhaps the narrative's biggest weakness. The characterization of her is solid and the acting great, but her writing really ruins the subtext in a lot of moments. Norah serves as an exposition machine in a lot of scenes, it's painfully obvious in the opening and only continues to be a bother as the story progresses. There's a strong sense of “tell don’t show” as everything is meticulously explained and no revelations are granted to the player of their own volition. Considering Norah’s dialogue is such a large chunk of this game, it's a shame how more often than not it was a large hindrance on the experience.

6/10
Favourite Moment: Finding The Lady Shannon, it’s a delightfully creepy chapter full of secrets and the first proper dive into the supernatural wonders of the island, and the piano puzzle was my favourite one in the game.

There's some impressive work here and definitely the signs of a good developer in the making. Call of the Sea is a beautiful game, but it needed a fair amount of fine tuning to become a true classic.

Not a bad game, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It’s a soft no for me.

(+) I liked the island setting, archeology/explorer vibes, and narration. The journal the main character uses to help solve puzzles is very well-designed and clearly arranged. I also loved the scribbling sound every time you find a clue. Putting the story of the lost expedition team together was fun.

(-) Even though I did expect a slow game, the walking speed was exhausting. Imagine a game with item capacity limit and the painful slow walk you get – that speed! “Running” didn’t help much, either. The explorer vibes I liked so much got lost at some point, too. I enjoyed the first two chapters. Chapter 3 was visually too dark (I couldn’t see much), and Chapter 4 was okay. After that, it took a weird turn for me. I stayed for the interesting main plot (finding my husband), but solving puzzles felt like a chore to push the story further. It was also too obvious in which direction the story was heading. Yet I expected more at the end: Unanswered questions and a kinda meh ending.

Call of the Sea 通关留念!8/10,推荐打折入手。
惯例先说优点(尽量不剧透):
美术,卡通渲染画面和光影一流,随手截图都跟画一样精美;3D音效掉san效果绝佳,很有代入感,独处却仿佛有人在耳畔窃窃私语;故事很感人,两个结局看完给我看哭了,这什么绝美爱情故事,是我甘愿吃的狗粮TAT.

还有最重要的一个优点!steam页面上完全没有拿“克苏鲁”作为噱头,但这确实是洛夫克拉夫特式游戏。一开始我以为是我coc脑想多了,但游戏里四处都有暗示,而且基本到中期就能看出来,女主为什么会有这种“病”了。而且虽然有克系元素,但游戏中没有jump scare,也不血腥,这点其实特别好……因为克苏鲁神话其实最重要的是“对不可名状的恐惧”,jump scare和血腥这都太浮于表面、太轻浮了,Call of the Sea 很好地阐述了这一点,这也是为什么它的“克味儿”这么重了。而且,现在多数洛夫克拉夫特式游戏都喜欢搞恐怖血腥或者打怪升级,但Call of the Sea另辟蹊径,讲述了一段两难全的爱情,相较于那些英雄主义,和玩家生活更贴近,更容易情感带入。

演出也非常棒,尤其是后面水下有一段,一直让我想起迪士尼和环球影城……而且这游戏我直播的时候,被问了两次是不是《艾迪芬奇》那个开发组的新作,可想而知这个画面和演出质感。

最后有两个结局,要玩家自己做选择,选择女主和男主今后的道路……两个我都看了,直接给我看哭了。而且根据你选择的结局,最后的片尾曲、一小部分台词和桌上摆的照片都会不一样,就很细心。

缺点:
我被Steam评价骗了,别人说谜题不难,我觉得应该这么理解:谜题设计思路不难,但是想解开,难。

这个游戏有很多大型场景解谜,需要你一直跑来跑去,还有一些解谜则必须要自己动手画出来才能怎么解(难道是因为女主是美术老师,所以故意这么安排的?我也不知道)……总之很麻烦,尤其是前者,一不小心漏掉了一个线索,就得到处去找,女主因为身体不好走路也比较慢,卡关的话真得会卡很久。

最后有两个迷题还是靠弹幕帮我解的,热心观众还帮我画了示意图,其实我还是有点没懂(解谜的原理我自己推理出来了,但我还是叠不出来需要的图案,麻了)。

第一人称引发的3D晕眩在所难免,尤其这游戏为了模拟步行还做了颠簸感,球球你不要再晃了啊.jpg

后面有一大段水下剧情,如果你有深海恐惧症的话,大概会玩不下去(……),但是如果没有的话,就只会觉得“好美啊!”

叙事上,最后的转折来得特别突然,这个转折的唯一解释就是“女主觉得自己很了解她老公了”……挺唐突的,虽然也解释得过去,但反正我看那个○○的形状真得看不出是○○……其他都还挺好。

Time:
Around 5h for a full story, maybe 8-10 to get all the achievements.

Story:
Same old searching for your loved one, stumble on some ancient civilization, discover yourself, etc

Gameplay:
Walk around, backtracking can be tedious at times, look at stuff, puzzles which are not so intuitive and involve a lot of guessing.

Graphics:
Nice.

Sound:
Nice.

Overall:
I hate the main protagonist's voice and all the comments she makes. Puzzles are very dumb (or could be that I am very dumb also) . But the game looks lovely and has his own charm.
Worth it full price? No.
50% off? Maybe.
6/10, was a relaxing playthrough.

Call of the Sea es un notable juego de puzles que tiene lugar en una paradisíaca isla de la Polinesia, en los años 30 del siglo pasado. Cuenta ♥♥♥ una atractiva trama romántica enmarcada en la preciosa cultura del Pacífico Sur.

Gráficamente está muy conseguido, recreando a las mil maravillas escenarios variados y muy coloridos. En cuanto al audio, cuenta ♥♥♥ muy buenas voces y sonidos (aunque, siendo un juego español, se echa en falta el doblaje al castellano).

Jugablemente es un walking simulator ♥♥♥ puzles, algo habitual del género. Si bien los puzles empiezan siendo demasiado asequibles, luego van ganando algo de dificultad y, pese a que en ningún momento llegan a ser difíciles, consiguen al menos ser interesantes.

En resumen, creo que si te gusta el género de los puzles o las historias de misterio, es una muy buena opción. Personalmente, me ha parecido mejor de lo que esperaba.

More interesting reviews on Fenol Baron Approves Curator Page

I love it when the hand of the creator is clearly felt in the game, his desire to acquaint the player with something unknown. "Call of the Sea" is a very striking representative of just such games, and also embarks on a difficult path of careful handling of the worlds and Lovecraft's mythology. This is not to say that the game is perfect, I didn’t like a few of the puzzles, but most of the time you have an incredibly pleasant feeling. The vibrant nature of Polynesia, where fate throws our heroine, Nora, compares favorably with the usual entourage of Innsmouth and Arkham, constantly exploited in games based on the books of the famous writer. The writers very subtly managed to recreate the feeling of a real adventure - you constantly feel like a discoverer of something new, gradually the secrets of the past and the future are revealed in front of you, the monumental buildings make you stop breathing, and the plot constantly keeps you in suspense.

This is much more of a puzzle game than a walking simulator, there is very little aimless wandering and admiring the scenery. Most of the time you research, trying to find clues to solve the riddles, which abound here. The complexity of the puzzles varies quite dramatically, some will have to work very hard, but each has a clear and understandable solution. The plot is quite touching and sad, as if some kind of seal of doom hangs over the characters, the darkness of which contrasts even more with the local sunny landscapes. The main character is very easy to empathize, she is charming and interesting, with a lively character and emotions. The game is full of these very emotions, but does not allow them to overflow, but competently places accents in the narrative. Pleased with the large amount of collectible material that more fully reveals the story, and the ability to replay the chapters to find the missing plot details.

A vivid journey that once again reminds us how important it is to recreate the spirit of adventure in an adventure game, which will make the player forget about where he is for several hours, surrendering to the wave of blue ocean waves and the chirping of parrots.

Enjoyed this little game. Additional kudos to devs for writing good female character, not Mary Sue or STRONG WOMYN THAT NEED NO MAN.

A beautiful entry into the walking sim genre, leaning heavily into its Firewatch influences but with more focus on Myst-style environmental puzzles.

The way the story is delivered through monologue and found notes is sadly pretty tired by this point and isn't as well written as its predecessors, but the developers are firing on all cylinders and delivered a very high quality first title.

It's worth playing if you're an adventure game fan looking for an immersive sim 'next gen' feeling puzzle game, with gorgeous artwork and immersive soundscape, you'll feel pulled into the game world.

Looking forward to seeing more from this team!

Uuuuu i loved the story so much, especially the end. I wish some of the puzzles weren't so hard though since they kind of distracted me from the story. I would still recommend it, and maybe re-play it someday. :) 9/10

Курорт по-Лавкрафтовски

Если меня спросят, чего за последние пять лет вышло больше - симуляторов ходьбы или игр по мотивам произведений Г.Ф. Лавкрафта, то я вряд ли смогу сходу ответить. А вот есть меня спросить, сколько в этом списке будет хороших проектов, то тут особо долго думать не придётся - для подсчёта хватит пальцев одной руки.
И одно могу сказать точно - для Call of the Sea на этой руке палец точно найдется. Потому что это одновременно и хороший симулятор ходьбы, и хороший фанфик по Лавкрафту.

Иронично, но при этом Call of the Sea не предлагает ничего оригинального в обоих категориях. Всё, что здесь есть, вы так или иначе видели в других играх подобного жанра и тематики. Но - лишь здесь всё это реализовано со вкусом и чувством стиля.

Взять сюжет: героиня с тёмным прошлым в поисках пропавшего мужа отправляется на неотмеченный на картах остров, скрывающий тайны древней цивилизации. Сколько раз у "помотивщиков" Лавкрафта встречалась подобная фабула? Миллион. Подводные боги, рыболюди, древние затонувшие города, галлюцинации и голоса в голове - хоть что-то из этого кажется вам оригинальным? Едва ли, ведь в играх всё это уже давно стало не менее избитым клише, чем, например, зомби. Тем не менее каждый из перечисленных пунктов обстоятельно реализован в Call of the Sea.

Но удивительным образом ни одно клише здесь не напрягает, всё на своём месте.
Всё дело в подходе: Call of the Sea не является хоррором от слова "совсем". Тут много мистики, тут проскакивают довольно мрачные локации и описываются не самые приятные события. Но игра совершенно не пытается пугать. Там, где прочие фанфикрайтеры просто суют игроку в лицо тентакли, называя это лавкрафтовским ужасом, создатели CotS увлекают его лором и рассказывают интересную историю отдельно взятого острова с подачей в стиле телевизионных развлекательных передач о путешествиях.
Здешний остров - это не хтонический ад с ктулху и "фхтагнами", это скорее солнечный курорт, скрещенный с аттракционами в духе Диснейленда. Тут всегда светло, тут ничто не угрожает твоей жизни и не подгоняет вперёд. Игра развлекает, а не угнетает. Это по сути иной, нетипичный взгляд на творчество Лавкрафта. Который при этом не ломает никаких канонов - история гармонично вписывается в книжную вселенную и щедро сыпет фансервисными отсылками на разные произведения Говарда Филлипса.
Но главная заслуга Call of the Sea даже не в бережном отношении к первоисточнику, а в том, что даже без оглядки на него здешний сюжет представляет немалый интерес. Под маской авантюрного приключения про пропавшую на таинственном острове экспедицию (по следам которой мы и пройдем) скрывается трогательная история об искренней и чистой любви двух разлученных людей, и том, на какие жертвы они готовы идти друг ради друга. Игра скупа на постановку и сюжетные повороты, но за счет потрясающей озвучки и проникновенной музыки пробивает на эмоции не хуже, чем какие-нибудь Valiant Hearts или What Remains of Edith Finch. Всплакнуть на финальных титрах тут отнюдь не возбраняется, ведь под конец игры ты действительно привязываешься к персонажам и охотно разделяешь их переживания.

С геймплеем, надо заметить, Call of the Sea проделывает схожий финт - оказывается не тем, чем кажется поначалу. Первые минут 15 игра притворяется 234-м по счёту стандартным симулятором ходьбы, не требующим от вас ничего, кроме чтения записок и брождения по живописным локациям под закадровые монологи главгероя.
А потом вам предлагают решить головоломку. Далее ещё одну. И ещё. И вот где-то на третьем паззле приходит внезапное осознание - перед нами же классическая адвенчура от первого лица в духе олдскульных Myst! Понятное дело, что сабж более динамичен, линеен и не настолько запутан. Но сама концепция узнаётся без труда. Мы приходим на новую локацию, - на первый взгляд большую и нелинейную, но на самом деле довольно компактную - тыкаемся во все её углы, читаем все записки, внимательно записываем во внутриигровой дневник всю найденную информацию, а затем методично думаем, как её применить в прохождении глобальной головоломки, вокруг которой построен конкретный уровень.
Играется это гораздо интереснее, чем звучит, по одной простой причине: загадки действительно удались. Call of the Sea это первая за довольно долгое время игра, которая не держит игрока за идиoтa. Очень даже наоборот - она бросает вашим мозгам ощутимый вызов, заставляя посидеть и подумать над конкретным паззлом. Именно посидеть и именно подумать, т.к. далеко не каждая загадка тут проходится с наскоку, и примерно раз в полчаса вам обязательно придётся залезть в дневник, внимательно изучить все найденные подсказки и попытаться логически их проанализировать.
При этом нельзя сказать, что игра прямо-таки зубодробительно сложна - на самом деле, если разобраться, решения головоломок элементарны. Ирония в том, что оказуаленные бродилки последних лет настолько отучили нас от необходимости в чём-то разбираться, что Call of the Sea с её паззлами воспринимается как натуральное откровение - тут искренне интересно докапываться до разгадок, а успех дарит не меньший экстаз, чем победа над сложным боссом в каком-нибудь Dark Souls.
Что немаловажно, игра не пытается душнить: наряду с масштабными многоступенчатыми паззлами тут встречаются загадки попроще и полаконичнее. Разнообразием также не обделили, никаких самоповторов. Откровенно поругать, пожалуй, стоит лишь пару головоломок в середине игры, где авторы (или, возможно, локализаторы) слишком уж расплывчато формулируют конечную задачу и заставляют игрока гадать, чего же игра от него хочет. Подсматривать в прохождение бывает не зазорно.

А ещё менее зазорно будет глазеть на окружение. Скажу больше - этим тут стоит заниматься в первую очередь, ведь игра фантастически красива. У художников и левел-дизайнеров, воплотивших на экране все эти пляжи, джунгли и древние храмы, явно золотые руки, потому что с пейзажей Call of the Sea можно натурально рисовать картины, а затем вывешивать их в Лувре. Впечатление отлично дополняет и минималистично-мультяшный визуальный стиль в духе Firewatch, благодаря которому локации выглядят как-то особенно приятно и лампово - ты буквально ощущаешь себя на пятизвёздочном курорте и постоянно жалеешь, что нельзя просто протянуть руку и попасть в прекрасный мир по ту сторону монитора.

С поездкой на отдых эту игру, в общем-то, и хочется сравнить. Море, пальмы, солнце, глубоководные загадки и в меру эмоциональная история - перед вами идеальное летнее приключение, которое пусть и не может похвастаться оригинальностью, но со своими штампами работает грамотнее любого современного аналога. Это, конечно, не жанровое откровение, но определённо одна из лучших адвенчур за последние годы. Особенно за такую-то смешную цену.
Проходить мимо категорически не рекомендую, тем более летом, когда лучшей обстановки и настроения для подобных игр просто не найти.

Zapraszam na moją stronę kuratora Steam. Na pewno znajdziesz tam coś dla siebie.

Call of the Sea i ślady dawnej cywilizacji


*imienia Norah w języku polskim nie powinno się odmieniać przez przypadki, co dla mnie nie brzmi zbyt naturalnie w niektórych zdaniach i dlatego - wbrew powyższej regule - poza mianownikiem odmieniam to imię tak, jakby główna bohaterka nazywała się Nora

Może morze wcale nie jest tam.
Może morze jest tu, w sercu twym.
Może zabierzesz mnie łodzią nad sam zachwyt
na twej twarzy,
nad twe szczęście co kołysze się wśród fal.
Może morze[wiersze.kobieta.pl] w duszy twej gra,
a w ustach czujesz jego smak.


Call of the Sea to bardzo udany debiut hiszpańskiego studia Out of the Blue Games. Dlaczego tak uważam, pomimo iż nie zakochałam się w tej grze (a trochę na to liczyłam, co przyznaję ze szczerością), dowiecie się dzięki dalszej części tekstu. Mieszkający na Półwyspie Iberyjskim twórcy mogą poszczycić się już nominacją do tegorocznej nagrody BAFTA w kategorii Debiut (o wyróżnienie produkcja powalczy między innymi z tytułami takimi jak Carrion czy Röki).

O samym studiu nie jestem w stanie dużo napisać, bo jest młode i w miarę neutralnie prowadzi swoje media społecznościowe, udostępniając standardowe rzeczy dotyczące swojego pierwszego dzieła (artykuły, recenzje, zrzuty ekranu). Powstało dzięki grupie doświadczonych deweloperów gier, którzy przepracowali ileś lat w różnych firmach i zdecydowali się na połączenie sił, by móc pracować nad własnymi pomysłami. To doświadczenie, jakim się chwalą, z pewnością wpłynęło na ostateczny kształt Call of the Sea i dostarczaną przez grę jakość. Wśród wartości Out of the Blue Games wymieniane są transparentność i powolny (zdrowy) rozwój związane z szacunkiem do każdego pracownika i jego osobistego życia. Celem grupy jest tworzenie gier jakościowych, mocno skupiających się na detalach. Ich historie oraz światy muszą być spójne i żywe, by jak najbardziej podobały się graczom. Lubię takie ludzkie podejście, zorientowanie na drugiego człowieka, więc jeśli nie są to założenia na pokaz, to gratuluję.

We design puzzles. We tell stories. We love games.

Miłość, tajemnicza choroba i niosąca nadzieję wyspa

Lata 30. XX wieku. Główną bohaterką Call of the Sea jest Norah Everhart. Kobieta cierpi na nieznaną chorobę powoli wyniszczającą organizm, a jej dłonie są pokryte nieregularnymi plamkami, co ze względów estetycznych zmusza Norę do ciągłego noszenia rękawiczek. Henry Everhart, badacz i mąż Nory, zmartwiony pogarszającym się stanem zdrowia swej ukochanej, organizuje kilkuosobową ekspedycję na wyspę położoną gdzieś na Oceanie Spokojnym. Mężczyzna sądzi, że jest w stanie odnaleźć remedium i odzyskać to, co nieuchronnie wymyka się spomiędzy jego palców - szczęście i życie Nory. Niestety wyprawa kończy się niepowodzeniem, a przynajmniej tak podejrzewa Norah, gdy przez miesięcy nie otrzymuje od Henry'ego żadnego listu. Otrzymuje za to paczkę z Tahiti bez danych nadawcy zawierającą zdjęcie męża z niejasnym dopiskiem, starożytny artefakt wyglądający jak nóż oraz klucz z inicjałem C.W. Norah domyśla się, że nie może dłużej zwlekać i postanawia podążyć śladami Henry'ego, a pierwszym przystankiem w tej podróży jest właśnie Tahiti. Stamtąd kobieta trafia na wyspę oddaloną na wschód o 74 mile i jest to miejsce, w którym rozgrywa się akcja gry.

Absolutnie urokliwe i dopieszczone w każdym calu zakątki cieszą oko swą egzotycznością i klimatami inspirowanymi twórczością H.P. Lovecrafta. Rozgrywka polega na eksploracji i rozwiązywaniu łamigłówek środowiskowych skonstruowanych przez... no właśnie, przez kogo? Moim głównym zarzutem wobec zagadek jest ich nierówność. Niektóre z nich rzeczywiście wymagają dłuższego zastanowienia i połączenia w głowie kropek, inne są w miarę proste, ale i pokuszono się o umieszczenie zadań naprawdę trudnych do zrozumienia. Momentami brakowało mi jakiegoś wyrazistego punktu zaczepienia albo dodatkowej informacji od twórców. Po około godzinie myślenia nad jedną z zagadek skapitulowałam i wsparłam się solucją w formie wideo. Dodam, że nigdy nie czuję upodlenia z powodu korzystania z tego typu materiałów. Warto szanować swój czas i nie siłować się z czymś na siłę godzinami.

Norah, jako baczna obserwatorka, prowadzi notatnik, a zapiski wraz z rysunkami przydają się do szukania rozwiązań. Dostęp do nich jest łatwy i możliwy w każdej chwili, wystarczy wcisnąć TAB. Drugą część zeszytu stanowi pamiętnik kobiety uzupełniany wraz z postępem gry. Ponieważ stale podążamy śladami wyprawy Henry'ego, co rusz natrafiamy na niepozbierane do kupy obozowiska i pozostałości w postaci notatek, rozmaitego sprzętu oraz zdjęć. Wszystko to buduje w głowie Nory obraz tego, co wydarzyło się podczas pobytu jej męża na wyspie, a w większości są to nieprzyjemne i trudne do zaakceptowania sytuacje rodem z pozaziemskiego wymiaru.

Pobyt na tajemniczej wyspie to dla Nory okazja do odkrycia swej prawdziwej tożsamości. Nie dość, że tam zaczyna się czuć znacznie lepiej fizycznie, nawiedzają ją wizje związane z dawnymi mieszkańcami urokliwego zakątka i krwawa historia tego ludu. W połączeniu z naprawdę przepiękną stroną wizualną otrzymujemy przyjemną w odbiorze grę przygodową z najprostszym możliwym sterowaniem i całkiem dobrze rozpisaną historią, chociaż niezbyt zaskakującą. Do pewnego momentu brnęłam w tę opowieść bez dreszczyku emocji, lecz przyznam, że końcówką byłam dość oczarowana i cieszyłam się, że w tak liniowo prowadzonej fabule pozwolono graczowi na dokonanie wyboru, w jaki sposób mają się potoczyć dalsze losy Nory.

Głosu Norze użyczyła Cissy Jones Aktorstwo głosowe jest bardzo istotne w grach narracyjnych dumnie prezentowanych przez tag "bogata historia", bo w dobrym i profesjonalnym wykonaniu jeszcze mocniej ożywia prezentowaną historię i przybliża odbiorcę do losów fikcyjnych postaci. A Cissy Jones jest rewelacyjna w tym, co robi. Świetnie wypadła jako Delilah w Firewatch, niezwykle wiarygodnie wcieliła się w rolę Joyce Price z Life is Strange. Ma na swoim koncie mnóstwo mniejszych i większych sukcesów, pracuje przy znanych produkcjach. Jednak jako Norah niespecjalnie mnie do siebie przekonała. Nie potrafiłam szczerze polubić tej bohaterki, jej wyważonego tonu i niepokojącego braku emocji w momentach, które większości osób zmroziłyby krew w żyłach. Odnosiłam wrażenie, jakby sama aktorka nie do końca wczuła się w Norę, choć jest ona profesjonalistką i zapewne się mylę. Mimo wszystko nie pomogła w zapałaniu sympatią do protagonistki.

Call of the Sea to gra piękna i bardziej zachwycałam się widokami, niż przeżywałam rozterki Nory. Nie do końca o to mi chodziło, ba, wiązałam z tym tytułem większe nadzieje, co nie znaczy, że nie jest to gra niegodna polecenia. Klimaty rodem z mitologii Cthulhu w jakimś stopniu mnie fascynują i uważam je za interesujące, ale jednocześnie nie jestem ich wielbicielką i być może to wpłynęło na mniejsze zaangażowanie w wydarzenia z gry. I tak, Call of the Sea ma w sobie więcej z nostalgicznej historii miłosnej aniżeli z horroru.

Here is the problem with Call of the Sea: Everything about the game is just not that great. It's not bad by any means. It's just not great.

The story telling is lacking. The main characters behaviour as well as their voice acting is a bit silly and exhausting. The graphics (probably the strongest part of the game) are just a tad lifeless and lack animation.

The direction is not quite right: The character might point out things, that I simply have not spotted or that, even after having them pointed out, elude me. Or you do/discover stuff in an order that the makers of the game did not anticipate, which then leads to clearly off voice lines that break the immersion (for example your character might get very excited by a piece of evidence, whose discovery should have preceded an event, that already occurred).

The puzzles are okay. If you have puzzle experience do not expect to be particularly challenged. Sometimes the controls get in the way. Game length is added by having to do legwork while trying to solve puzzles. Compared to a game like The Room (which might be top of genre when it comes to puzzles) this becomes very apparent. This mix of works okay in a game like Zelda, where the Action/Adventure/RPG portion fills in the gaps nicely – but this game is a puzzler. There is a dust of exploration about this game but meh. Nah. It's really not.

I understand how this came to be: All of the components take a lot of work/time and indie development is very time constraint. Call of the Sea tries to do a lot of things, and, again, it's not bad at anything – good even – but excelling at something is really important. I feel that Call of the Sea, unfortunately, does not.

Очень приятная игра! Чудесные пейзажи и локации, любопытная история, в которую органично вплетены головоломки. Загадки не хардкорны, и оставляют приятное послевкусие решенной задачки. Играла на английском языке - приятное оформление путевого дневника Норы и хорошая озвучка. Письма от мужа были как маленькие фильмы внутри игры.
Рекомендую тем, кто хочет приятно провести время, поразмяв голову, не чувствуя себя при этом тугодумом, и наслаждаясь историей.

Call of the Sea, muhteşem grafiklerle bezeli, ilginç ve özgün bir hikayeye sahip ve görece kısa süren, film gibi bir macera oyunu.

Öncelikle bu oyunu önermek ve önermemek arasında büyük bir ikileme düştüm. Sebebini incelemenin ilerleyen kısımlarında anlayacaksınız. Vakit kaybetmeden incelemeye geçelim.

Oyunun gerçekten ilgi çekici ve oldukça özgün bir hikayesi var. Ana karakterimiz Norah, henüz çaresi bulunmamış ve onu yavaş ve acılı bir ölüme sürüklemekte olan nadir bir hastalığa sahip. Bu hastalığın izleri ellerinde de görülebiliyor. Harry ise Norah'ya şifa bulmak amacıyla yollara düşen karakterimiz, Norah'ın kocası. Harry uzun süre eve dönmeyince, Norrah daha fazla bekleyemiyor ve kendine gelen gizemli paketin de yardımıyla Harry'yi bulmak için yollara düşüyor. Bu yolda karşısına çıkan mekanlar ve olaylar da hikayeyi oluşturuyor. Devamını oynayarak görmeniz lazım.

Oyunun grafikleri muhteşem, Unreal Engine ile yapılmış. Güzel bir monitör ve performanslı bir bilgisayarla görsel bir şölene dönüşmesi işten bile değil. Ancak bazı yazılımsal sorunlar mevcut. İyi bir bilgisayarınız dahi olsa gerçekten performanslı bir makina değilse sıkıntı çekebilirsiniz. Ben Ryzen 5 3600 ile RX5600XT ekran kartını kullanmama rağmen bazı noktalarda çok fazla stutter yaşadım. FPS yüksek olmasına rağmen görüntü akıcı değildi, anlık takılmalar çok fazlaydı. Bilgisayarımın sıcaklık ve diğer performans değerlerine baktığım zaman da anormal bir durum göremedim, yani sıkıntı bilgisayarda değil oyundaydı.

Grafik dışında da yazılımsal birkaç sıkıntısı var. En az 3 kere alt+f4 ile kapatıp yeniden açmam gerekti çünkü bazı noktalarda dondu. Tabi bu oyunu bitirmeye engel değil çünkü otomatik kayıt özelliği çok iyi çalışıyor ve sık sık kayıt yapıyor. Kendiniz de istediğiniz noktada kayıt alıp devam edebiliyorsunuz. Özellikle son sahnede kayıt almayı unutmayın zira oyunun muhtemel iki sonunu da görmek isteyebilirsiniz.

Oyunun müzikleri gerçekten üst seviye. Böyle bir oyun için bile aşırı iyi. Tamam, bu çok kötü bir oyun değil ama bir Hollywood filmi de değil. Ancak müzikler Hollywood seviyesinde. Bu oyunda en beğendiğim nokta müzikler oldu.

Müziklerin yanında seslendirmeler de çok iyi. Zaten Norrah'yı daha önce Firewatch'tan tanıdığımız "Delilah" karakterini seslendiren kadın ses sanatçısı seslendiriyor. Ana karakterimiz sürekli konuşmasa daha iyi olurdu belki ama böyle bir atmosferde yalnız hissetmek de kötü olurdu. Tek sıkıntısı incelediğimiz notlarda daha notları okumadan karakterin konuşmaya başlaması. Bir dur da okuyalım :D

Buraya kadar çoğunlukla oyunun güçlü taraflarını aktarmaya çalıştım ancak bu oyunun malesef çok kötü bir tarafı var ve bu da oyunun asıl büyük parçasını oluşturuyor. Evet, o parça "son derece düşüncesiz yapılmış bulmaca sistemi". Normal şartlarda bu konuda deneyimli bir oyuncuyum, The Room gibi mantık çerçevesine oturtabileceğimiz oyunları çatır çatır geçerim ancak bu oyunun bulmacaları o kadar rastgele ve uğraştırıcı ki, bir noktada "Bu kadar güzel bir oyunu nasıl böyle rezil ettiniz?" dedim kendi kendime. Bulmacaları gerçekten çok kötü, hiçbir mantık çerçevesine oturmuyor ve aradaki mesafeler yüzünden çözmesi uzun sürüyor. Çözümler fazlasıyla rastgele ve bu konuda böyle düşünen tek ben değilim. Oyundaki tüm ipuçlarını tüketip bulmacaları hiçbir mantık çerçevesine oturtamayınca çözümüne bakmaya karar verdim. Yorumlarda da herkes aynı fikirde. Hatta videoları çekenler bile "Neden böyle olduğunu bilmiyorum ama böyle çözülüyor." diyorlar birçok nokta için. Gerçekten, bu kadar muhteşem bir yapımı bu kadar dandik bulmacalarla nasıl mahvettiniz ya? "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter"da da aynı saçmalık vardı. ( incelememe bakabilirsiniz ). Her şey çok güzel, hatta bu oyunlardan beklenmeyecek kadar güzel ama bulmacalar da bir o kadar kötü. Bulmacaların kötülüğü kadar ipuçlarının kötülüğü de önemli zira ipuçları hiçbir yere götürmüyor. Oyunu oynamadan videoları izleseniz de geçemezsiniz zira ipuçlarını bulmadan oyun ilerlemiyor :D Bulmaca ve ipucu mekanikleri gerçekten olmamış, oyunun güzelliğine çok büyük bir darbe vurmuş.


Bulmacalar hakkında daha fazla şey yazabilirim ama birazını da kendiniz görüp yorumlayın isterim. O yüzden daha fazla uzatmadan oyunun artıları ve eksilerine geçiyorum.

Artıları / Eksileri

Artıları,
+Muhteşem grafikler ve canlı renk paleti.
+İlginç ve özgün hikaye. Gerçekten özgün, daha önce oynadığım hiçbir oyuna benzemiyor.
+Film gibi bir deneyim, kısa oyun süresi (6-7 saat)
+Kendi sınıfının çok çok üstünde müzik kalitesi.
+Kaliteli seslendirmeler.
+Kayıt sistemi. Otomatik kayıt var ve çok iyi çalışıyor. Oyun sonunda istediğiniz bölüme geçebiliyorsunuz ve ilerlemeniz de yazıyor.

Eksileri,
-Berbat ötesi ve rastgele bulmacalar. Gerçekten nasıl bu kadar kötü olabilir anlamıyorum.
-Hiçbir yere götürmeyen ipuçları.
-İyi bilgisayar gereksinimi.
-Birkaç yazılımsal hata.
-Ana karakterin, biz notları incelerken daha bir şey okuyamadan konuşmaya başlaması.

Sonuç olarak yine grafik, hikaye, seslendirme ve müzikler açısından muhteşem olan bir oyunun berbat ötesi bulmacalarla rezil edilişini görüyoruz. Çok büyük hayal kırıklığı. Yine de siz bir bakın, zam gelmeyen nadir oyunlardan olduğu için sonraki indirimde alınabilir.

Call of the Sea
~~~~~~~~~~~~

Call of the Sea is a unique story-driven, puzzle-adventure experience. Call of the Sea’s world revolves around Norah Everhart and her journey to uncover the truth behind her husband’s expedition to an uncharted island.

As the Call of the Sea’s story progresses, Norah will discover more about herself, her incurable illness, the mysteries of the island, and her husband’s unfortunate expedition.

Plot: its 1934, and Norah Everhart is on a voyage to meet her husband, Henry. Norah is very excited; it has been a while since Henry left on his expedition.

Henry’s expedition was of great importance to him; Norah is unwell, and her symptoms are getting worst day by day. He is optimistic that he will find some sort of answer to cure his beloved Norah.

Shortly after the captain called, “Miss Norah, we have arrived,” Norah ventures out alone to reunite with her beloved. But to her dismay, she finds an abandoned camp, with no clue about the whereabouts of Henry and/or the crew.

Something has surely gone wrong, as a letter and a note from Henry indicate. Hoping that Henry and his team are all right, Norah decides to move inland. As she starts to move inland, she’s blown away by the island's beauty; she discovers local manmade structures, temples, puzzles, and complex mechanisms.

As Norah progresses through the island, she discovers more and more about the mysterious island and how all this is related to her illness. She discovers a black substance, which Henry is calling black OoZe.

Henry can’t really explain what this substance is. It is surely something magical, or even evil; the doctor interacted with this black OoZe, and he soon perished, as did the others.

She starts to uncover all the mysteries and the fate of the expedition.

Norah finds notes, drawings, and letters by Henry and the other crew members, which lead her to the answer, puzzle by puzzle, piece by piece.

Henry was right all along! He knew he would find something of great importance here, something that would surely save his beloved, even if he would need to sacrifice it all.

Gameplay: The gameplay of Call of the Sea greatly compliments the amazing and creative story of the game. The gameplay is simple and effective and allows the player to take his/her time to explore the beautiful island and all its features.

The basic WASD is slow and elegant, although it felt annoyingly slow sometimes when I was done exploring a particular area, or if I was revisiting it, which you have to do often in this game.

The game also features a diary, which logs Norah’s adventure, her discoveries, and important details throughout the game.

Norah also draws down clues as she discovers or goes through new areas, which later play an important role in solving the puzzles.

Discovery and problem-solving play the most important role in this game. The game insists that the players go through every area to explore, collect clues, drawdown important details, and find notes and letters from the expedition.

However, there’s really not much to explore. The playable area seems large (it certainly gives that impression), whereas in actuality, you play through a limited area. Finding clues and puzzle pieces is easy, which in the case of this game, is good and done very well.

Voice acting and narration: Both voice-overs for Norah and Henry were very well done and gave the story a great flavor. So did the narrations by Norah, which were consistently happening throughout the game, and at no point of my playthrough did I think that it was getting too repetitive or boring. Kudos to the actors who played these roles for doing a great job.

Puzzles: Now let us get to the main course, the puzzles. Call of the Sea nailed it when it comes to puzzles, in my opinion; the game features a good balance of difficulty.

Puzzles don’t have to be stupidly difficult to be enjoyable; well-balanced, well-placed and a good variety of puzzles has a far better outreach. And Call of the Sea did just that!

The game features a good number and a good variety of puzzles, and each is well-designed and well-placed. Some were easy to solve yet hard to get clues from, while some were hard to solve and needed some close attention to figure out. What they all have in common is that they are not too difficult to solve, and are very rewarding for those who like to explore the world and discover all the details, both in the open and hidden.

What did make the puzzles a bit tedious or annoying is the fact that the movement speed is rather slow, and you have to explore and revisit multiple locations to gets clues or discover all the hidden details.

World design: Absolutely gorgeous world design, full of different elements, colors, regions, structures, and many more.

I loved it how the devs designed and divided the island into regions with minor changes at a time, rather than just throwing the player right into a unique region without any transition. The slow buildup of different elements before transitioning into a brand new area or region is much appreciated.

Music and sound effects: A very well-put-together song features at the end of in this game; I absolutely love it! And it’s performed by the same actors who play Norah and Henry; they did a great job with the performance and gave the game an excellent touch.

As did the sound effects and background ambient noises. Right from the get-go, I was stunned to hear how well they implemented all those sound effects and ambient noises without getting in the way of narrations.

Considering all aspects of the game, Call of the Sea turned out to be a great indie title with a great touching story, voiced by a couple of talented actors, set on a beautiful island, with some great sound effects work.

However, I must mention some minor issues that I faced with the performance; although the game is not that demanding, it felt quite sluggish at times, with minor lags.

Positives:

+ Great Story
+ Beautifully designed world
+ Brilliant narration
+ Good music selection
+ Brain-tickling puzzles
+ A great exploration experience
+ Great art style

Negatives:

- Sluggish performance at times with minor lags
- Some clues and puzzles were not well explained
- No custom settings, only graphical presets

Help Norah Everhart in her search for the truth and for her beloved. Explore the mysterious island to uncover its secrets.

An incredible game made by incredible people.

The puzzles are challenging yet accessible. The atmosphere is incredible and engaging, and the story so far looks incredible.

One of the best games of the year and a true successor to games like Myst.

Don't let the bright colors fool you, this is absolutely a Lovecraft game. It takes a lot of inspiration from the structure of Lovecraft's work as well as the content with an emphasis on atmosphere and slow reveal rather then more in your face horror. There are plenty of references and Easter eggs tucked into too.

The only slight nitpick I have is that sometimes, on PC, you need to adjust the graphics quality down to properly interact with an item.

Overall, a very enjoyable if not particularly long game. Perfect for a long evening. Especially one when the moon is full and things you never quite catch sight of keep throwing distorted shadows into your room as they pass.

This one kind of came out of left field for me. I'm a big fan of adventure/puzzle games, and I just happened to randomly see this on Steam. After playing it, despite the short playtime, I can wholeheartedly recommend it. The mild frustration that came from some of the puzzles being a bit obscure was easily forgiven when compared against an interesting and unique story that will take you to places you'll never expect. I really can't say anything bad about the game other than the fact that it's over. Grab it on sale if you aren't sure, but I was pleasantly surprised beyond my expectations.

Pros:
-Interesting story
-Beautiful art style/world
-Puzzle elements I haven't seen in other games
-Great voice acting

♥♥♥♥:
-A bit short
-Some puzzles can feel frustrating, but never impossible
-Climbing ladders and traversing the world can be tedious at times

A Truly Fantastic Adventure

Vidéo YouTube™: Call Of The Sea Part 1 | New Lovecraftian Adventure Game 
Vues : 54,338
Gameplay Walkthrough. My husband has gone missing on a strange island while searching for a cure for my illness. ►Follow me on Facebook - http://on.fb.me/1u0sffi ►Follow me on Twitter -...


Call of the Sea is a beautiful, well crafted, engrossing adventure game about a woman searching for her husband on a Polynesian island.
Although Lovecraftian, Call of the Sea doesn't really feature any horror, but what it does feature is a captivating story, incredible visuals, fantastic voice acting and some enjoyably challenging puzzles.

Truly, this was a joy from start to finish and I had a smile on my face the whole time. A wonderful way to round off 2020.
It might only last you 3-4 hours, but I'd definitely recommend this.

★ Worum geht’s? ★
>Call of the Sea< spielt in den 1930er Jahren. Wir begleiten Norah, die auf der Suche nach ihrem verschwundenen Mann und seiner Expedition ist. Die Suche führt sie auf eine geheimnisvolle und wunderschöne Insel im Südpazifik, auf der Rätsel gelöst und Geheimnisse entschlüsselt werden müssen.

★ Positiv ★
➝ interessante Story, schöne Liebesgeschichte
➝ wunderschöne Umgebung, es gibt viel zu entdecken
➝ knifflige und abwechslungsreiche Rätsel

★ Neutral ★
➝ ist ein recht kurzes Spielerlebnis (schätzungsweise ca. 10-11 Stunden, mit allen Errungenschaften)

★Weiterempfehlung! ★
Ein tolles, wenn auch recht kurzes, Spiel mit einer beeindruckenden Atmosphäre und einer tollen Story. Kann ich nur empfehlen, besonders, wenn man Rätsel und Abenteuer mag.

PS: Es wurde häufig von Bugs berichtet in anderen Bewertungen, dem kann ich mich (Stand März 2021) nicht anschließen. Ich hatte keinerlei Probleme und das Spiel lief bei mir sehr flüssig.

I never write bad reviews but for this game I am. Started out great but I ran into a bug (among several) that wouldn't allow me to go any further. Sometimes that happens in games and I can usually get some kind of solution by contacting developers, which I did. ZERO RESPONSE to my query and I see that multiple other people have reported the same: developers have left us high and dry. It was too late to get a refund so I uninstalled it...but I'm writing today because I see they have an offer out to buy a Nora doll from their store and that just hit me wrong. So get this at your own risk but I advise reading all discussion topics first.

A great story driven puzzle game set in the 1930s. Gorgeous graphics and a nice variety of puzzles without it becoming too taxing. I enjoyed taking screenshots as it's so pretty. The narration throughout the game is lovely too. It's quite a short game, it took me around 6 hours to finish, but then I went back to find some collectables I'd missed and complete some achievements. Highly recommended.

a short (5h) lighthearted Lovecraftian walking simulator with fun and somewhat challenging puzzles set in a beautiful island
my only problem with the game is that its really heavy on the gpu , even on medium settings the game stutter in some places and the gpu reached 81/82°C most of the time , they need to optimize it more or at least let people chose what graphical settings they want or not.
get it on sale

This is a VERY mid review with a LOT of complaints!

So let's get the good stuff out of the way, if you like walking sims with a light puzzle element, and appreciate great atmospheric vistas, levels, and interesting stories, this is definetely something to consider playing. The genre is underrepresented and I am happy that this game was quite successfull, because despite all the critizism I will lay out shortly, this game shows the work of a dedicated indie team with a lot of potential for future titles, which is why I am overall still giving it a recommendation.

That out of the way, here is what makes this game very frustrating to play:

Writing: Whilst the story itself is quite interesting the execution in writing is horrible. Our main character is just a walking talking exposition dump. She has very little personality, and that is not the fault of the actress, voice acting overall is fine for a game of this size. But just reading these lines as subtitles really hurts your head. Everything is so on the nose, gets repeated hundreds of times to the player, none of the jokes work, and in some scenes our main character will just keep talking forever, like reading out the summary of the last chapter so that we still remember everything. It gets annoying VERY! FAST!
I know they don't have the budget for big cutscenes but you can work around that. Show don't tell is a good rule for a reason. The game sets us on a hunt for a cure for a disease that we're never shown the consequences of! Like she's mentaly capable of solving puzzles and fit enough for this expedition but we're just supposed to believe that the spots on her arms are killing her?
A personal gripe here would be the ending: the plot twist just doesn't work because we're never shown that it's not actually her husband that died. The way the story presents this twist, is as if she just out of the blue decided that the whole thing was a bait n switch by her husband... like what??? The game didn't give us any evidence to believe that, she just does it because the script needs the plot to happen...

Puzzles: They are mediocre at best and most of the time not very well presented to the player. Like none of these are real brain twisters, but that doesn't mean that solving them should be expected from the player. Most of the time I looked up the solution and whilest that always sounded easy on paper, I never had the means to come to that conclusion. It's just poorly communicated to the player, and in one puzzle you're taking a note of an order of buttons, and I'm expected to read that order from bottom to top... what?
It's sad because the visual presentation of the puzzles always fits the level and the scenario we are currently in, but they are just so frustrating, artificially overcomplicated or just involve an unnecessary amount of backtracking. I also loved that level that followed a "power the generator puzzle" up with a "power the generator" puzzle, that made me chuckle.

That combined with slow movement, overall clunky traversal some minor bugs, it just makes this game unnecessarily frustrating. Again, I still liked a lot of things that I saw, and I am looking forward to playing future titles of this developer, but only if they improve on these things, because for a price tag of 20 bucks, especially right after I finished a game that did a better job at all of the above at a 10 Dollar price tag, this is really disappointing.

¡Muchas gracias!

Toda la información acerca de la historia del juego, en el caso de que sea indicada, pertenece a lo dicho en la descripción de la página de venta o es según comienza el juego. No es ningún spoiler.

HISTORIA

Call of the Sea tiene una historia que mantiene la tensión constante sin dejar que se deje de jugar. La protagonista Norah
padece una extraña enfermedad que la está dejando más y más débil. Su marido, Henry, decidido a encontrar una cura, se embarca en una misión a una isla lejana dónde cree que podrá encontrar una cura.
Norah recibe un extraño paquete ♥♥♥ una nota de Henry, un extraño cuchillo y una llave ♥♥♥ unas iniciales que no reconoce.
Decidida a encontrar a su marido decide ir a la isla sola pase lo que pase.

Call of the Sea 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Rodren


A partir de este momento el jugador irá descubriendo poco a poco durante el transcurso de una serie de capítulos la historia tanto de Norah, su enfermedad, y la desaparición de su marido mientras lee notas, encuentra fotografías y resuelve puzles de distinta índole mientras admira los bellos y, a veces, terroríficos entornos que la rodean.

Una historia muy bien desarrollada y escrita pero que en algunos momentos tiene errores de situación ya sea en algunas notas o en el entorno.

Aún pese a esto mantendrá al jugador queriendo seguir jugando para aprender más y más.

GRÁFICOS

Los gráficos son soberbios llenos de color y casi acercándose a un estilo “cartoon”. Los brillos, el agua, los reflejos, absolutamente todo, pone en manifiesto el cariño que han puesto en este apartado sus desarrolladores.

Posee bastantes opciones gráficas para adaptarlo a distintos equipos, aunque en la opción de mejores gráficos exigirá un uso medio/alto a la GPU pese a su estilo "cartoon".

Los entornos acuáticos son muy hermosos llenos de su coral, peces en enormes áreas que harán sentir como si se estuviera en él mismo, una pena que el título no posea modo VR.

MÚSICA

Call of the Sea tiene una banda sonora magistral, la cual puede ser obtenida en un DLC aparte. Una maravilla para los oídos en todo momento, teniendo pistas muy adecuadas en los lugares que Norah estará y en los puzles que tendrá que resolver.

Combinada ♥♥♥ los gráficos se tiene un título que todo jugador amante de las aventuras narrativas y los puzles debería tener.

JUGABILIDAD

La mecánica de Call of the Sea es similar a muchos otros títulos del mismo género. El jugador manejará a Norah en modo primera vista recorriendo la isla pudiendo girar la cámara en todas direcciones pudiendo admirar todos los bellos entornos (y lo cual será muy importante para resolver algunos puzles).

No se posee mapa ni brújula, pero tampoco hace falta. Tampoco tiene ninguna interfaz en pantalla por lo que no existe ningún elemento que disturbe al jugar.

Se podrá correr y nadar (algo de agradecer ya que Norah anda muy despacio por su enfermedad).
El jugador deberá interactuar ♥♥♥ múltiples objetos, leer notas y ver fotografías (momento en el que Norah dirá en voz alta sus pensamientos acerca del objeto) y resolver puzles.

Call of the Sea 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Rodren


En este punto es dónde algo negativo del título hace aparición... la dificultad de muchos de sus puzles.
Si bien la dificultad va siendo progresiva en ellos, existen puzles muy simples, pero otros muy complicados dónde se obligará al jugador a tener que investigar la isla a fondo para encontrar las pistas o detalles que puedan hacer falta.

Sin embargo, muchos puzles poseen pistas que pueden confundir más que ayudar cuando no se conoce el puzle. Otros puzles necesitan descubrir muchas cosas en otros puzles para poder intentar entender el significado de todo ello.

Pese a que esto es un buen aliciente para los jugadores exigentes puede ser un problema importante a jugadores más casuales que pueden sentirse frustrados o no entender la lógica de un puzle.

Norah posee un cuaderno dónde irá apuntando todas las pistas que vaya encontrando al igual que los sucesos más importantes que lea de notas, vea u escuche. En el diario se pueden encontrar algunos errores (al menos en español) ♥♥♥ textos incorrectos en algún punto del mismo y algún número de un puzle.

Se puede encontrar atajos, a lo mejor de títulos tipo "souls", que permitirán moverse entre distintas partes del mapeado rápidamente, por desgracia esto no es así en un puzle que puede requerir varios intentos teniendo que ir de un punto a otro y la frustración que ello puede hacer sentir.

Existen objetos ocultos a ser encontrados, murales a ser leídos y algún "easter egg" por parte de los desarrolladores.

Posee un selector de capítulos, los cuales pueden ser rejugados en todo momento, y en los cuales se indica el número de notas que se han encontrado al igual que los objetos secretos, etcétera. Algo muy útil para los jugadores que quieran conseguir el 100% del título.

Call of the Sea 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Rodren


La partida se graba automáticamente en determinados momentos, aunque se puede grabar manualmente si se desea.

Está en español subtitulado si se desea al igual que su interfaz está localizada perfectamente al español, también tiene soporte para mando (probado ♥♥♥ uno de XBOX360), al igual que logros de Steam (algunos requerirán volver a jugar los capítulos para encontrar los documentos que falten y/o los objetos secretos y murales al igual que realizar determinadas
acciones.)

El trabajo de la actriz que da voz a Norah es espectacular en todo momento.

PROS:
  1. Muy buena historia que posee elementos de fantasía tipo Lovecraft.
  2. Gráficos espectaculares.
  3. Una banda sonora magistral pudiendo ser obtenida en un DLC.
  4. Duración aceptable para un título de este género, 5 a 6 horas.
  5. Gran cantidad de documentos a leer, murales, y fotografías a encontrar.
  6. Objetos secretos y "easter egg".
  7. En perfecto español, aunque ♥♥♥ voces en inglés.
  8. El trabajo de la actriz que da voz a Norah es excelente.
  9. Soporte para mando.
  10. 2 finales.
  11. 34 logros de Steam (algunos de los cuales requerirán jugar de nuevo algunos capítulos)

♥♥♥♥:
  1. Algunos fallos en los textos del cuaderno y en alguna pista.
  2. Incongruencia en puntos de la historia ♥♥♥ respecto a lo que se lee y/o ve (aunque no altera la experiencia ni la hace peor).
  3. Algunos puzles tienen una dificultad elevada que, aunque será una delicia para los jugadores expertos en puzles para los casuales podrá ser frustrante.
  4. En determinados puzles las pistas son confusas y/o dan un sentido un poco distinto a lo que la lógica pueda hacer pensar.
  5. No tiene mucha re jugabilidad más allá de obtener todos los logros, algunos puzles podían haber tenido sus secuencias aleatorias entre partidas para hacerlo aún más desafiante.

CONCLUSION:

Call of the Sea es un buen título de narrativa ♥♥♥ puzles que recuerda a grandes títulos del género, ♥♥♥ unos gráficos excelentes y una banda sonora magistral. En español subtitulado y localizado, aunque ♥♥♥ voces en inglés. Muchos objetos que encontrar y coleccionar, 34 logros de Steam, secretos, y una historia que mantendrá al jugador queriendo saber más
y más.

Sin embargo, la elevada dificultad de muchos de sus puzles y en algunos casos pistas confusas en su significado pueden arruinar la experiencia a jugadores más casuales o no dichos en este tipo de títulos (y aun así a expertos podrán costarles).

No es un título para todo el mundo por lo anteriormente citado, pero conociendo esto y decidiendo aceptar el desafío hará pasar unas 5 a 6 horas de puro entretenimiento.

Vale su precio sin lugar a dudas.

Mi valoración final: 7/10

I am a huge fan of puzzle adventure games, particularly the Myst series, and this game definitely scratches that itch. The game does a better job of integrating the puzzles into the world than something like The Talos Principle or Faraway, so many puzzles feel like they have a connection to the story. The environments are beautiful and lushly detailed, which comes at the slight trade-off of the levels feeling a little bit on the small side.

In terms of difficulty, this game is on the easier end. Any object you can interact with, or information source you can inspect or read, is clearly marked when you approach it, and the main character writes down any puzzle-relevant information in her journal. The notes left by others that she comes across are fully marked-up already - important terms are circled or underlined to make clear what the player is supposed to take away from each scrap of paper. She also talks to herself extensively, offering her own realizations that reveal the links between different information in ways that help the player along towards a puzzle solution.

On the one hand, this avoids the frustration of overlooking subtle visual cues or having to parse out the important information from lengthy journals, as is sometimes the case in Myst games. On the other hand, it does feel a little like the protagonist connects most of the dots herself, leaving the player only to make a few remaining connections to complete the solution. It also affects the game length - the game is much shorter given that the protagonist essentially narrates a partial walkthrough as you play it.

On the whole, this was an enjoyable game with interesting puzzles in a beautiful world. Fans of real head-scratchers might be disappointed with the modest puzzle difficulty, but on the whole I think most players will enjoy the adventure.

Target Audience: Myst/Witness Lovers

Summary:
Call of the Sea does a great job of capturing the feeling of exploring an unknown island filled with mysterious puzzles and if this is starting to sound a lot like games like Myst, there's a reason for that. Although don't hold me to that entirely, I never played the original =(. The island, while having little faults with water going through the environment, is beautiful and feels like a vast world filled with little story elements around every corner. And while the main characters narration will turn off a subset of players due to how forced the exposition is, Norah does serve as interesting protagonist following in the footsteps of an expedition looking to find a cure for her illness. There's good characterization for all characters throughout the story in writing, environmental, and audio clues, and the voice acting by veterans of the genre shows as the performances are high-tier, with little hiccups now and again.

Puzzles wise, once you understand the idea that “HEY LOOK FOR ALL THE CLUES BEFORE YOUS TART SOLVING YOU DINGUS”, it works out rather well. They aren't complicated puzzles compared to some of the hair pulling ones in other games, but they are also going to make you think critically. Let me put it this way, there's no reason you should be looking up a guide here, in fact, doing that would kill the experience: the satisfaction is the process itself and figuring out the next hint, like how the 3 digit number you saw before now relates to a clue that you just found. You'll need to explore and take in all the sights and think about everything put in front of you, and if that doesn't sound like your type of game, then Call of the Sea is not for you. But if adventure and critical thinking is your game, then Call of the Sea is definitely one to look at.

It should be noted that several people have indicated some performance problems with the game, and while I never experienced it (even if I wondered at the start why I was dropping my frames on screen, it was due to the fact that vsync wasn't on >.<), keep that in mind.

Stream Footage: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/830595780


Lists:
Positives:
  • Story has been seen before, but still told in an interesting way that makes you want to see what's around the next corner.
  • Great characterization used for the most part with all forms being utilized (environmental, audio, notes, etc)
  • World is beautiful and one that you can get lost in, feeling very Myst-isque.
  • Smartly designed puzzles that balance the line of challenging the player without going too far over the line of frustration.
  • Does capture the feeling of the era with era-appropriate dialogue and the way people talk with each other
  • Sound and music elements play a secondary role, but do a good job of enhancing the visual presentation without becoming too overbearing.
  • Reasonable set of graphical and other options to enhance the experience.

Negatives:
  • Exposition from the main character can be a bit blunt at times, feeling like an information dump, and while I understand why the format is used, the voice can start to grind your mind at times due to the fact that it seems like it's always talking.
  • Could have more actively used a hint system with the character questioning if they had all they needed, or do that earlier in the process. (if you're missing key data).
  • Once in a while a graphical element will take you out of the game, especially with how water interacts with the rest of the environment.
  • Sometimes, you wish you had a Segway to speed up walking to places that you know you need to get to. Granted, I know this was done to make the player think a bit at times, but it can get annoying when you don't follow the “right” path at first and have to make treks in the complete opposite direction.

Its amazing what a bunch of creative individuals will do with the unreal engine. This game is no exception. I was surprised by how decent and well laid out this game was. I went into it pretty much not expecting or knowing anything about it (which helped add to the adventure!). A good solid adventure, some nice puzzles to work out along the way (none were really that difficult if you just stop, think and look at the hints and notebook entries), and a nice story to wrap it all together. Well done, and worth a thumbs up!

Call of the Sea是一个非常精致非常唯美的步行模拟解谜游戏。

这游戏的画风真的是太美了,从商店界面的截图也能看得出来,对于风景党又是一款必入的游戏。此外游戏还拥有着电影级的配乐,恢弘的交响乐搭配着唯美奇幻的画风,如同一幅壮丽而诡谲的画卷在玩家的面前徐徐展开——很少有游戏的艺术风格能够做得如此令人震撼。(硬是挑个刺的话,虽然游戏画风很棒,但是画质却并不怎样,感觉贴图不太行,画面主要依靠光影)

其实玩这游戏之前我还以为这个是探索解谜游戏,但实际上并不是:这游戏相当线性,而且地图也挺小的,根本没有什么可以探索的地方。解谜难度中等,由于主角每次解谜的时候都会把线索记在笔记本里所以看着笔记本解谜几乎不可能卡关。不过游戏也存在少数偏难的谜题,比如结局的星座谜题,还是要动点脑子。值得一提的是每次成功解谜之后游戏都会响起一段音乐来,前面也说过游戏配乐水准很高,所以每次解完谜都能让人震撼一把(特别是女主在山门唱歌把门打开的那个地方,真的是太宏伟了)。

除了游戏的艺术风格之外,我觉得游戏的题材也是一个亮点:这是一个克苏鲁题材的游戏。虽然我也玩过不少洛式风格的游戏,但是这些游戏要不然是恐怖游戏要不然是卡牌游戏,本作应该是我玩过的第一个非恐怖非卡牌的以克苏鲁神话为背景的冒险游戏。这种感觉挺神奇的,游戏里的深渊和古神并不会给人带来恐惧或是疯狂,而是带来了一种壮美感,一种奇幻感,仿佛我们世界之外的世界是一片无垠的世外桃源一般。 要是能与这美丽的世界融为一体,我愿意献上理智

抛去题材的新意后,游戏的剧情也就一般, 就看着一对老夫妻疯狂撒狗粮,再顺便给克总发个糖之类的 。游戏是双结局,分歧点是唯一的,其实两个结局都挺好的,好像这游戏根本没有BE,就让你选是GE1还是GE2。值得一提的是女主的配音水平非常高,给这个剧情加分不少。此外游戏的汉化质量也是顶尖的,虽然这种高水准的汉化往往有意译过头的问题。

所以说,这么美的游戏的OST和画集有理由不入吗?

Самая Лавкрафтовская игра из всех неЛавкрафтовских. Сюжет и атмосфера великолепны. Особенно отмечу атмосферу, которая проявляется как через прямой геймплей, так и через окружение и детали. Когда ты просто ходишь по острову, замечаешь какие-то вещи и к тебе начинает приходить понимание происходящего. Очень здорово. Головоломки качественные, все поддаются логике и ни одна не вызывает раздражения при прохождении. Они не чрезмерно сложные, но когда ты их успешно решаешь, приходит приятное удовлетворение. Имеется несколько вариантов концовок. Очень рекомендую игру всем любителям интересных историй и любителям игр-головоломок.

정보를 안보여주는데 퍼즐을 어떻게 깨요?? (대충 조세호 억울한 표정 콘)


하.. 너무 아쉬워.. 너무 아쉽다고!! 게임이!!!

고퀄의 그래픽과 진행하면 할 수록 감탄만 나오는 연출!! 그리고 무난하다고 느낄 수 있는 스토리지만 몰입도를 높혀주는 훌룡한 더빙!!! 근데 그걸 다 망치는 퍼즐!!!!

퍼즐요소만 이따구로 만들지 않았더라면.. 진짜 기립 박수 쳤을거야 난!

맵도 넓고 볼것도 많고 상호작용할것도 많은데 정작 상호작용이 되는 오브젝트 강조가 거의 없는 수준이라서 퍼즐 정보를 쉽게 찾을 수가 없음

가까이 가야지만 하얀색 작은 점이 생기고 코앞까지 가야지 작은 점이 작은 눈 모양으로 바뀜 근데 오브젝트가 눈에 잘뛰는 위치에만 있는게 아니라서 위 아래 구석구석 다 봐야됨

내가 바보라서 퍼즐을 못 푸는게 아니라 퍼즐 풀 정보 조차 쉽게 주질 않으니까 정보 찾으러 같은 장소 뺑뺑이 계속 돌고 있고; 자꾸 진행이 막혀서 플레이 할 의욕을 다 꺾어놔;;

거리가 조금 떨어져 있어도 잘보이게 흰색 테두리 같은걸로 오브젝트 강조 표시만 잘돼있었어도 퍼즐도 쉽게 진행되고 스토리 오브젝트 읽으면서 스토리도 막힘 없이 몰입도 있게 쭉쭉 진행하면 됐는데..

[오브젝트 강조 표시] 이거 하나만 제대로 만들었으면 이 게임은 최소 평작 혹은 수작 정도였을텐데 너무 아쉽다 아쉬워..

그래도 정말 좋았던 그래픽, 연출, 더빙때문에 추천 할 수 밖에 없다!


여담으로 혹시나 심해공포증 심하다면 피하는걸 추천 쪼끔.. 무서웠엉..

Für mich die Überraschung des Jahres!

Ich hatte das Spiel eher nebenbei mit auf die Wunschliste gesetzt, weil es vom Genre her wohl zu mir passte, und es unter Neuerscheinungen oder dieser Entdeckungsliste vorgeschlagen wurde.
Es war also dieser eine Titel, den man dann mal in einem besonders verlockenden Moment in einem Sale auch mal mitnehmen würde, wo man quasi nichts falsch machen kann.

Die erste positive Überraschung war für mich, als ich den Titel vollkommen unvorbereitet von einem Steam Kumpel anlässlich meines Geburtstages aus einem vorherigen HumbleBundle(?) geschenkt bekam, was mich sehr gefreut hat.
Natürlich habe ich das Teil dann sofort installiert und angespielt.

Und hier kam dann die zweite Überraschung:
Das Spiel ist wirklich mega gut gemacht!
Nicht nur die Grafik ist wirklich super schön und lässt einen auch mal einfach so herumlaufen und schauen, nein, auch die Geschichte, die erzählt wird, zieht einen gleich von Anfang an in seinen Bann.
Es ist so, also würde man einen tollen Abenteuerfilm selbst erleben.
Ihr mögt Mystery wie Lovecraft, alte Inselgeschichten mit vergessenen/unbekannten Zivilisationen und verlassene Lager und Städte, Abenteuerfilme wie Indiana Jones, Tomb Raider usw.?
Das ist euer Spiel!

Und es ist weitaus mehr als nur ein Walking Simulator, der durch Grafik und Story glänzt, es ist auch ein gut gemachtes Rätselspiel.
Wir durchlaufen und stöbern also nicht nur die Gegend und Fundorte, sondern wir heben auch Dinge auf und kombinieren diese und müssen etliche Rätsel lösen, um in der Geschichte und vor allem dem erkundbaren Gebiet voran zu kommen.

Ja, Geschichte und Gebiet. Denn das besondere Alleinstellungsmerkmal in diesem Spiel ist, dass wir ein Tagebuch führen, was uns zum einen die Handlung und Geschehnisse protokolliert und in der Gesamtheit erschließt, zum anderen führen wir eine Notizsammlung für die zahlreichen Rätsel zusammen, was für uns dann quasi als Hilfestellung zur Lösung dient.
Also alles, was wir uns anschauen, kann und wird uns mehr zur Geschichte erzählen und die Rätsel vereinfachen.

Natürlich muss man nicht alle Seiten und Hilfestellungen durch Sammelitems und angeschaute Objekte füllen, das Spiel lässt sich auch so beenden und das Groß an Story bekommt man so oder so mit.
Sollten wir aber nicht alles finden, so fehlen natürlich Einträge auf den Seiten, wodurch dann vielleicht mal ein paar Zusatzinformationen für die Storyhintergründe fehlen, oder aber entscheidende Hinweise für ein Rätsel, was dieses dann mitunter schwerer oder gar zum Ratespiel werden lässt, wo man dann die Kombinationen durchspielt, bis es klappt.

An dieser Stelle möchte ich für Jäger und Sammler klar stellen, dass ein 100% Spielstand durchaus in einem Rutsch machbar ist. Man sollte sich aber mit den Anforderungen für jedes Kapitel vertraut machen, dazu gibt es einen guten Guide.
Eine sehr gute Hilfestellung für Sammelobjekte ist, dass man sehr aufmerksam beobachten sollte, ob sich alle Seiten im Tagebuch füllen.
Man sollte also eindeutige Gebietsübergange, wichtige Ereignisse und vor allem Kapitelenden vorsichtig begehen, und lieber mal einen der 4 Spielstände sichern.
Mir ist es einmal im Spiel passiert, dass ich im zweiten Kapitel einen alten Spielstand laden musste, weil ich was übersehen hatte.

Wenn ich es richtig in Erinnerung habe, kann man aber nach Abschluss des Spiel die einzelnen Kapitel noch einmal einzeln auswählen und diese Dinge nachholen.
Das Buch behält seine Inhalte und füllt sich dann auch noch mit dem Rest auf.
Nur ist es natürlich blöd, wenn man in mehreren Kapiteln was vergessen hat, und man muss das dann alles neu durchlaufen, bis man es gefunden hat.
Mir war das auch hier tatsächlich passiert, dass ich für ein Rätsel mit den Gesichtsfratzen nicht alles bei den Hütten gesichtet hatte.
Ich weiß noch, dass ich deswegen in die Lösung geschaut hatte.
Da dachte, ich sei zu blöd die Lösung zu erahnen.
Jetzt wusste ich, ich hatte nicht alle Hilfen gefunden, danach war es auch für mich lösbar gewesen.
Also deshalb noch einmal hier der Hinweis: kommt man nicht auf die Lösung, hat man vielleicht nicht alle Tipps.
Schaut also in den Guide, der alle Seiten aus dem Tagebuch auflistet.
Fehlen irgendwelche Krickeleien, schaut euch noch einmal genauer um.
Es sind nicht immer nur Items, manchmal muss man sich in der Gegend auch etwas anschauen. Wandmalereien oder ein besonderer Blick aufs Meer etc..

Ich möchte an dieser Stelle gar nicht mehr weiter auf das Spiel eingehen, ihr solltet es einfach selbst erleben.
Es war für mich eine der ganz besonderen Spielerfahrungen 2022, wenn nicht DAS Adventurehighlight überhaupt!
Ich wünsche euch schon jetzt viel Spaß damit. :-)

Fazit: kaufen, kaufen, kaufen - oder einfach wie ich mal schenken lassen :-)

Každý příběh musí jednou skončit a člověku je z toho smutno, ale zároveň cítí radost a naplnění, že si jej mohl prožít. Projít tu jedinečnou cestu a poznat tajemství, která se skrývají na jejím konci a v Call of the Sea je rozhodně co objevovat.

Příběh mě opravdu vtáhl a nebýt povinností mého reálného života, tak bych jej prošel na jeden zátach. Bylo těžké se odpoutat, když jste tak dychtiví zjistit co je za dalším rohem, za další hádankou. Nakonec jsem po třech dnech a šesti odehraných hodinách došel na konec, který byl dojemný, těžký, bolestivý ale i krásný. Minimálně ve mě vyvolal silnou citovou odezvu a to je asi to nejlepší co mi může jakákoli hra dát.

Vaší herní postavou je Norah, která se, ač stižena chorobou, vydává do tichimoří hledat svého manžela Harryho. Ten se tam vydal před nějakou dobou v naději, že nalezne lék na záhadnou nemoc, která Norah postihla. Jdete tak po stopách jeho expedice a přes všemožné poznámky, dopisy a fotky postupně odhalujete její příběh. Zároveň však odhalujete i osud samotné Norah, která v tichimoří nalézá sama sebe.

Hratelností a vizuální stránkou mi Call of the Sea dost připomíná hru Firewatch. Ovšem na rozdíle od něj zde hraje prim řešení hádanek, po vzoru klasických adventur jako je třema MYST. Samotné hádanky nejsou příliš jednoduché, aby jste nad nimi nemuseli moc přemýšlet, ale ani příliš složité, aby jste se nad nimi dlouho zasekli a nevěděli jak dál. Sám jsem měl jen jeden větší zásek, ale ten byl způsoben vyloženě mou chybou, protože jsem zaměnil jednu indicii hned na začátků bádání.

Moc pěkným herním prvkem, je váš diář, do kterého si Norah zaznamenává své dosavadní prožitky a zároveň do něj zakreslu jednotlivé indicie, které nachází ve svém okolí, pro řešení hádanek. Je to velice praktické, protože nemusíte neustále pobíhat sem a tam a připomínat si, kde co bylo, ale jednoduše si kdykoliv a kdekoliv otevřete diář a najdete tam vše potřebné. Tedy, pokud jste předtím vše prošli a řádně si to zaznačili. Ale věřte mi, zatraceně vám to ušetří spoustu času a běhání sem a tam.

Nerad si o hrách, zvláště těch příběhových, zjišťuji dopředu jakékoliv informace. A až při samotném hraní jsem byl velice příjemně překvapen zjištěním, že vše se odehrává ve světě H. P. Lovecrafta. Svou silně stylizovanou grafikou dost klame tělem a ač autoři vypráví vlastní příběh, nádherně vše zapadá do lovecraftovského vesmíru. Takže, pokud patříte mezi milovního tohoto prokletého spisovatele, rozhodně by Call od the Sea nemělo ujít vaší pozornosti.

Stejně tak bych hru doporučil komukoliv, kdo má objevitelského ducha a miluje hry jak Dear Esther, Draugen, či již zmíněný Firewatch. Díky svému jednoduchému ovládání a nenásilnému pojetí bych se nebál hru doporučit i méně zkušeným hráčům či absolutním nováčkům.

V době kdy vychází dlouho vyvíjený, mnohokrát odkládaný a všemi extrémně očekávaný titul Cyberpunk 2077, jsem si dovolil sáhnou po tomto malém a nenápadné titulu a rozhodně toho nelituji. Ano, časem se určitě dostanu i k Cyberpunku a bude to patrně super, ale myslím, že i tak zůstane Call of the Sea zapsáno hlouběji v mém srdci a mých vzpomínkách.

Děkuji autorům ze studia Out of the Blue, za tento krásný prožitek a již se moc těším na jejich další kousek.

Иногда любовь — это одержимость. Иногда — нежная забота. А иногда — способность пойти на любые жертвы ради человека в своем сердце...

ПЛЮСЫ

  • Изумительный сюжет. И нет, главная его фишка — это не истинная причина болезни Норы, а ее искренняя любовь к Гарри, ее мужу и коллеге, которая, в буквальном смысле, способна преодолеть что угодно! В конце концов, на дворе — 1934 год, и Нору никак нельзя назвать еще одной Ларой Крофт: она довольно хрупкая женщина, отправившаяся на загадочный остров, где пропала экспедиция ее мужа, в платье и шляпке, так что энергичных забегов и яростных сражений от нее не ждите... но будет сполна настойчивости, упорства и несгибаемой силы воли, что позволит героине в одиночку преодолеть множество преград и раскрыть-таки тайну исчезновения ее любимого.
  • Двойная концовка. Это, конечно, не самый большой плюс, но мне очень понравилась возможность в конце игры сделать выбор и увидеть две разные сцены после титров, отражавшие будущее героев. Обязательно сохранитесь в последней комнате и посмотрите оба варианта будущего — они того стоят!
  • Много дополнительных источников информации. Изучая различные фотографии, записки и заметки, Нора будет узнавать историю того, как путешествовал по острову ее супруг, а также окунаться в еще более древнюю историю тысячелетней выдержки, которая расскажет о прошлом острова и его жителей. Благодаря этому не только оживляется топанье от точки А до точки B (врагов и ловушек на острове нет, и единственное, что разнообразит путешествие — следующий пункт), но и дается возможность узнать еще одну захватывающую историю, где будут и убийства, и предательства, и мистические голоса, сводящие команду Гарри Эверхарта с ума. Все же не зря разработчики признались, что вдохновлялись творчеством Лавкрафта: в игре просто уйма отсылок к безднам океана и всяким хтоническим ужасам, в ней сокрытым.
  • Головоломки на любой вкус. В последнее время в играх стало модным делать головоломки, которые решит даже пятиклашка, поэтому я была приятно удивлена, столкнувшись с некоторыми задачками в «Call of the Sea»! Они не то, чтобы прямо очень-очень заковыристые, но все же довольно-таки сложные, и подсказки приходится искать буквально по всей локации, не надеясь, что Нору внезапно «озарит», после чего она сама нажмет кнопки в нужном порядке!
  • Потрясающие графика и музыка. Без дураков: я буквально зависала на некоторых кадрах, а музыка и вовсе послала меня в Гугл, искать местный саундтрек для личного пользования.
Заставки между главами хочется распечатать и повесить на стену. ^_^

МИНУСЫ

  • Нора довольно медлительна. Даже попав на чудо-остров, героиня не начинает скакать резвой козочкой, так что большую часть времени мы будем передвигаться со скоростью всполошенной черепахи. Уж потерпите, сделайте скидку на продолжительную болезнь...
  • Порой приходится тыкаться во все углы. Частично мое недовольство этим пунктом связано с первым минусом, но помимо этого играют роль немаленькие размеры локаций, неспособность Норы подниматься по чему-то кроме лестниц (хотя иногда она ловко карабкается по скалам, но это чисто в рамках сюжета) и, скажем так, незаметные указатели на интерактивный предмет: сначала появляется белая точечка, а при приближении она превращается в значок глаза или шестеренки. Пропустить ее — раз плюнуть... и да, я потратила полчаса, гадая, куда мне дальше идти, пока не заглянула в прохождение и не нашла очередную «точечку» за ящиками! Уф-ф, выбесило...
В последний раз такие классные заплывы у меня были в ABZU! 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Аннаэйра

ИТОГО

Вышла очень трогательная история, пусть нелюбителей «старомодных» квестов она может отпугнуть... но поверьте, «Call of the Sea» стоит того, чтобы с ней познакомиться. Так что давайте вместе с Норой, решительной, умной и образованной героиней, отправимся на белые песчаные пляжи, чтобы чуть погодя исследовать разбитое китобойное судно, пробираться по мокрым скалам, плыть среди сверкающих медуз и напевать красивую мелодию, вышагивая навстречу собственной судьбе...

Или же вы предпочтете для нее иной путь?

Общая оценка: ОТЛИЧНО

Call of the Sea è un puzzle adventure sviluppato da Out of the Blue e pubblicato da Raw Fury. Il gioco è disponibile dall’8 dicembre 2020 su PC, Xbox One e Xbox Series X.

Anno 1934. Norah Everhart è una giovane donna affetta da una misteriosa malattia tramandata nella sua famiglia e che porta inevitabilmente alla morte in età prematura. Il marito di Norah, Harry Everhart, parte per una spedizione nell’Oceano Pacifico alla ricerca di una cura che possa far guarire la moglie. Norah, indispettita dall’assenza di informazioni da parte di Harry, decide di partire alla volta del Pacifico poco dopo aver ricevuto un pacco pieno di oggetti proveniente da Tahiti. Una volta arrivata scopre che Harry si è avventurato su un’isola di cui i locali hanno paura perfino a pronunciare il nome, ma dove Norah troverà molto più di ciò che stava cercando.

Out of the Blue ci pone davanti ad un’avventura in prima persona ispirata ai racconti di H.P. Lovecraft che alterna paesaggi coloratissimi ad altri tipici della tradizione horror lovecraftiana (chi ne ha letto i racconti o ha giocato a titoli come The Sinking City o Call of Cthulu si sarà fatto già un’idea). Attenzione però: Call of the Sea non è un horror, seppur in alcune situazioni è possibile percepire una certa tensione nell’aria. In ogni capitolo dovrete quindi risolvere un puzzle “principale” che necessita però la risoluzione prima di alcuni enigmi più piccoli che vi permetteranno di proseguire. Ad ogni puzzle risolto verrete a conoscenza di un tassello aggiuntivo della storia ed è interessante scoprire i fatti gradualmente e non tutto d’un fiato alla fine.

Un altro aiuto che gli sviluppatori hanno voluto fornirci è il diario di Norah. Questo infatti fungerà non solo da riassunto della trama percorsa fino ad ora, ma anche da aiuto per gli enigmi visto che la giovane protagonista appunterà su di esso qualsiasi disegno o schema incontrato per la via (che ovviamente si traduce nel collezionare indizi per risolvere l’enigma di turno). Non ci sono puzzle particolarmente difficili durante il gioco, il vero problema è la poca chiarezza che viene fornita negli aiuti per risolverli. Nella maggior parte dei casi infatti si riesce a capire “cosa” bisogna fare, ma non “come” e quindi mi sono ritrovato spesso a dover andare a tentativi.

Call of the Sea non è però solo enigmi. Gli ambienti sono piuttosto estesi (e lo sembrano ancora di più vista la velocità ♥♥♥ cui Norah si muove) e pieni di documenti, registrazioni e foto lasciate dalla spedizione di Harry. Tutto ciò permette a noi di avere un’idea più chiara della storia, ma non è obbligatorio leggerli o raccoglierli tutti (lo si può fare anche in una seconda run tanto che alla fine del gioco il mio diario era completo al 98%) visto che l’obiettivo principale è risolvere il già citato enigma principale. Per invogliare ad esplorare inoltre il gioco è totalmente privo di HUD o mappa di ogni sorta, ma ammetto che spesso sarebbe stata utile averne una giusto per avere un’indicazione dei luoghi già visitati.

La longevità si aggira intorno alle 8 ore. A parte il completamento del diario e la possibilità di vedere entrambi i finali (non influenzati dalle azioni del gioco, ma solo dalla scelta finale), non c’è motivo di ricominciare il gioco. Passando al lato tecnico, non sono stati riscontrati bug o problemi a parte qualche calo di frame rate. Il gioco è inglese sottotitolato in italiano ed è interessante la possibilità di selezionare i sottotitoli per non udenti.

Tirando le somme, Call of the Sea si gioca ♥♥♥ tranquillità senza troppe difficoltà o intoppi. La trama è il suo punto forte, capace di tenervi incollati allo schermo in attesa della sorpresa finale. Forse l’unico punto debole che vogliamo sottolineare è la “pochezza” degli enigmi che richiedono più fortuna che tecnica in certi casi. Consigliato a coloro che vogliono godersi un po’ di inquietudine senza che questa diventi per forza paura.

VOTO: 7.0

+Trama interessante
+Tanto da esplorare
+Finali multipli
-Enigmi a tentativi

Beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing everything with Norah and I can only recommend this game. Stunning world and even better story. The only issue I had were the puzzles later in the game, but I only have my pea sized brain to blame for that one. So all in all, I encourage you to embark on this adventure with Mrs. Everheart.

Charming environment and art design, strong voice acting, and interesting take on Lovecraftian tropes are bogged down by puzzles that are sometimes totally obtuse, a host of plot questions left after the credits roll, and a walking speed and amount of backtracking that should be illegal.

Not bad, but wait for it to go on sale.

Ну чё там по сильным женским персонажам?

Любой, кто хоть немного вхож в бурные потоки информации "всех этих ваших интернетов" наверняка заметил растущий в игропроме спрос на Мэри Сью сильных женских персонажей. В данной игре женский персонаж силён ни чуточку не иронично. Да, она не имеет крутой мускулатуры или целого арсенала в кармане. Даже бегает медленно. Но чёрт подери, какой же у этой девчонки несгибаемый нрав!

На секундочку, события игры происходят в 30хх годах, когда мир был большой, страшный, а потерявшегося туриста не искали с вертолётом. Потому что не было ещё вертолётов в широком обиходе.


Предыстория такова:

Главная героиня, Нора Эверхарт, больна неизвестной болезнью, медленно пожирающей её. Внешние симптомы проявлялись в странных тёмных пятнах, которые появлялись на руках (из-за них протагонист носит перчатки на руках). Остальные симптомы классика: слабость, угасание и т.д. Вишенкой на этом дьявольском тортике оказалась неспособность докторов что-либо предпринять. Но муж главной героини с таким не смирился и бросился на поиски лекарства. Поиски его привели к организации экспедиции, держащей курс на острова Полинезии... И там-то этот самый сердечный друг и пропал. И вроде бы как всё: пускайте титры, экспедиция стала жертвой неукротимой силы природы, но в один день Норе приходит посылка на её имя. В посылке были только координаты и странный, похожий на ритуальный нож. Нож культа, о котором никто ничего не знает. Ну и Нора, поняв что это точно связано с её мужем, плывёт на тот самый остров, который был указан в письме.

Всем бы такую жену, честное слово.


ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ

Процесс игры довольно прост и незатейлив, спинной мозг можете оставить для шутеров от первого лица. Вам предстоит много ходить и много думать, хотя большая часть головоломок довольно проста. Ходите по локациям, собирайте записки и подсказки, чтобы найти способ как пройти дальше и восстановить закономерность событий, которые произошли тут до вас.

ГРАФИКА

Игра сделана немного в мультяшном стиле с очень, на мой вкус, яркими цветами. Когда в неё играешь, создаётся впечатление что вы, будучи ребёнком, включили что-то вроде Индианы Джонса или Жемчужины Нила в воскресное утро, когда вам никуда не надо. Только сюжет Лавкрафтовский. И если что я вам этого не говорил.

Отдельно похвалю пейзажи в этой игре и игру света на некоторых локациях. Я был в восторге, рекомендую также заценить.


ОПТИМИЗАЦИЯ

Игра довольно простенькая, так что для получения лагов и багов придётся сильно постараться. Любителям спидрана придётся подвинуться, так как разогнать больную женщину до скорости 9,8 м/с не получится при всём желании.


ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ

Игру рекомендую к прохождению, она коротенькая, с хорошим сюжетом (поклонники Лавкрафта оценят особенно из-за некоторых отсылок на книги. Одна точно заставит подумать "А точно ли болезнь у Норы?")

Любителям динамичных игрушек-пострелушек не зайдёт: вы будете себя чувствовать так, будто пришли в ночной клуб, немного напились, уже думаете что сейчас покажете всем как надо трясти своими достоинствами... и внезапно вместо клубняка заиграет ноктюрн Шопена. Вот именно это чувство вы и испытаете, зайдя в эту игру.

Всем остальным рекомендую захватить простой карандаш. Его не размывают тропические дожди, если вы не уберегли от них свой дневник.

说点有趣的地方
作者呢,首先100%是克苏鲁神话粉
和普遍致敬克苏鲁的作品不同的是,本作故事温馨美丽且感人,画风也采取多彩和暖色调,与克苏鲁主打的阴暗风、冷色调截然相反;而且游戏里可见的克苏鲁元素非常少,但剧情却可以和克苏鲁神话完美接壤,你甚至可以直接称之为系列的后续作品,所以这是与众不同的地方,直接将整个故事连带游戏提升了一个高度, 不是那种整点氛围就自称克了的无聊游戏

克系剧透警告:
大家还记得最后女主面临选择的时候吗,此时如果你打开笔记,会显示一个手绘家族谱,可以看见左下角是女主,族谱最顶端的名字是obed marsh(男)和pth'thya-l'yi(女),这两个名字首次出场于《印斯矛斯的阴霾》,关于这两个人简单来说就是船长和作为深潜者的女岛民结合繁衍了后代,我们的女主就是他们的曾孙,深潜者崇拜克苏鲁,其首领及父神达贡是克苏鲁的从者,游戏中很多的设定和细节也和深潜者设定相吻合,游戏里甚至还出现小说里那顶皇冠,在此不多做阐述了(懒,游戏里看到的巨大生物个人认为应该是达贡
最后说一句,旧日低语就是最吊的

I am not picky at all with games, I mean, I enjoyed Cyberpunk so that says something about me. HOWEVER, this is easily some of the most lazy dialogue I have ever seen. It's so bad it's actually funny. You know all those jokes people make about bad movies having characters say the plot out loud because the audience is to stupid to understand? Things like, "Man, I've had such a terrible day, especially after the accident I had 2 years ago that killed my wife and children." Everything the main character says is just bad exposition. She says stupid hit like "Oh what a terrible dream. I've been having dreams like that since my mother died and left me her music box in her will," "Oh my I better put these gloves on to hide my terrible illness," "I miss my husband that ventured out to a random island because he believed the music box my mother left me will cure my disease." Like this ♥♥♥♥ happened in the first MINUTE of the game and it literally made me laugh out loud with how bad it sounded. SPOILER: I got to the point where the main character sees this giant sea monster and then finds a crashed ship and she just won't shut up and keeps saying stupid ♥♥♥♥ like "How did this happen? What could've destroyed a ship this big? No rock could've caused this much damage... Hm curious." Like ♥♥♥♥♥, are you that stupid? Did you just forget about the GIANT SEA MONSTER YOU JUST SAW??? Game is absolutely ridiculous. Waste of $20 bucks and 2 hours.

TL;DR: Game treats you like an idiot and explains everything to you with low tier dialogue exposition.

This beautifully rendered game is voice-acted by the BAFTA winning Cissy Jones (Firewatch 2017). The mystery is set on a secluded island in the South Pacific (Windward Islands) in the 1930's. The game offers the player an unhurried, engaging and suspenseful series of puzzles to determine the fate of your lost husband and his fellow explorers. Along the way you discover why the island is avoided by local Polynesians, despite being covered with ancient Polynesian buildings, festooned with pounamu, and lots of ti'i, toʻo and murals - that actually look very Mayan in style.

Inspired by tales from H.P. Lovecraft and Jules Verne, the mysteries are suspenseful, but not horrifying, and are readily solvable if you are prepared to interact with the objects that surround you. You may find that retracing your steps is necessary because explorable areas can be quite large, and you will uncover minor-seeming clues that collectively give you the answer, If you find a puzzle unsolvable, you may find that you have missed or overlooked a clue, so be patient, explore and invest your time in discovery!

The only detraction I found was the dumbing-down of the Polynesian culture of the game to suit the 1930's white explorer trope. Much of the Polynesian terminology and mythology in the game is seemingly borrowed from cliche-riddled old matinee movies, which is disappointing as the Tahitian culture has no shortage of distinctive culture and myths that would suit the story.

If you are playing on an ultra-wide 32:9 screen, you'll need to enable vertical-sync so that the "interaction" bar does not interfere with on-screen object controls.

"Call of the Sea" - история женщины, которая пытается найти пропавшего мужа на райском острове. Действие происходит в 1930-е годы на островах Полинезии.
Сильной стороной является аудиовизуальный слой. Не разочарует и сюжет - повествование которого увлекает с каждой главой всё больше.
Мне кажется, что эта игра - рай для любителей мистических приключений и головоломок.

Ok game, it was fun to play. I am a bit more hardcore with this kind of games after playing Myst, Riven, Quern, The Witness, etc. This one is a bit easy because the protagonist writes everything on her journal and pretty much gives you the answers you need instead of letting you figure it out by your self. Is a short game, but it has a good story and for the price you can't ask for anything more. I recomend it to spend a few hours.

Beautiful game, with a fun twist to the "Shadow out of Innsmouth" story. Fans of the Cthulhu Mythos will definitely enjoy the story in this game. The gameplay is decent, with puzzles that feel challenging, but not painfully so. The audio is great, with solid voice acting, sound design, and a memorable soundtrack.

There isn't much in the way of replay value once you've experienced the story, but the story is well told and doesn't overstay it's welcome. Call of the Sea is one of the best "Lovecraftian" games I have played to date.

El estudio español Out of the Blue nos presenta una aventura a través de los sentidos. Tendremos que mirar y observar bien cada rincón de los coloridos escenarios de esta isla del pacifico, escuchar lo que nos cuenta Norah y atender a los sonidos de los templos y lugares escondidos. Leer cientos de cartas y observar ♥♥♥ detalle lo que Norah va escribiendo en su diario.
Call of the sea es uno de los juegos basado en los mundos de Lovecraft, “menos Lovecraft” ♥♥♥ los que me he topado, pero a la vez transmite ese espíritu de los mitos de Cthulhu y su lore. Cuenta una historia de dioses antiguos y terribles sacrificios. Pero a la par nos cuenta una historia de amor adulto y real. Un amor crecido de una amistad de muchos años. Un paseo entre puzles muy complicados y una BSO que transmite paz e invita a perdernos por esos mares nadando y entre la jungla tahitiana. ♥♥♥ un arte brillante, colorido y extremadamente detallado hasta la más mínima luciérnaga.
Call of the sea nos ofrece un viaje por 6 capítulos y dos finales, ♥♥♥ una historia enorme y que se cuenta sobre la marcha, descubriéndola junto ♥♥♥ nuestra protagonista, Norah. Unas 11h para encontrar todos los secretos y completar el diario. Unas 11h que se paladean como un té, despacito y saboreando cada sorbito.

it's not like the game is terrible, but it's just very underwhelming. i was mostly disappointed about the puzzles, as they all seem rather uninspired. most of them are just symbols that you find scribbled somewhere, then another symbols to map the first ones, then apply them elsewhere. it introduces us to the "alien" language - its numbers, some worlds and even some grammar, but the way it's used never goes beyond pattern-matching, and each set of concepts is abandoned once it's used in its chapter. there are a few mechanics-based puzzles, and some of them are just absolute genre staples. i guess one of the brighter moments was when it was clear that i'd need to repeat a tune to progress, and my heart sank a little, but then the heroine did it automatically. hurray! unfortunately, there was still a repeat-the-notes puzzle later in the same chapter. on top of that, the final puzzle seems to be bugged and doesn't accept some clearly correct solutions. overall, that's not to say the puzzles are too easy, they are just not particularly interesting.
the story is ok i guess, but it's definitely not something that'll carry you through the game alone. if you like cartoonish style graphics, you'll probably think the game's very pretty, but i'm not one of those people, so for me the visuals were adequate, but again not something i'd play the game for.

재미있다 퍼즐게임인줄 알고 샀는데 퍼즐요소는 크게 많이있는건 아니고 스토리위주로 플레이하면서 중간중간 퍼즐을 풀어주는 게임
퍼즐이 고난이도가 아니고 돌아다니면서 정보수집을 잘하면 쉽게 풀수있다
스토리도 잘 만들어지고 마지막 엔딩이 두가지중 한가지를 선택해서 두가지 엔딩을 볼수있는거도 좋은듯
그래픽이 매우 좋고 배경등 풍경이 매우 아름답다

단점을 굳이 꼽자면 조작감이 살짝 아쉽고 3D게임치고 점프기능이 없으며 걸어다니는 속도가 다소 느리다
그거 외엔 정말 간만에 재미있는게임을 즐긴것 같다~

Une histoire, une aventure et un décor incroyable. J'ai été absorbée par le jeu par ses puzzles et énigmes. Je vais mettre quelques points positifs et négatifs à mon goût.

Points positifs :
- Le jeu est très joli, les paysages sont juste fou !
- Les énigmes qui ne font pas forcément facile.
- Les mécanismes sont cool et pas répétitif.
- Les musiques sont d'une pépite ♥
- Le journal pour les indices est vraiment bien fait, on évite la frustration !

Points négatifs :
- Dommage que la "rejouabilité" soit quasi nulle
- On le fini assez vite si on est habitué à ce type de jeux.

En gros, le jeu de l'année, rapport qualité/prix est correcte ! Je le recommande si vous avez envie de passer quelques heures de réflexion et que vous avez quand même envie d'avoir une véritable histoire qui tient la route :D

A beautiful and intriguing Adventure game.
As any other puzzle game, it is a walking simulator.

The puzzles are not that hard, except the damn "Fish Head" puzzle which actually is hated by many, myself included!
The walking is very slow (thankfully sprint exists to mitigate) but still very slow. I expected the swimming parts to be faster but the speed is just as slow.
Other than that, the game is excellent!
Story is great, overarching mystery is intriguing, exploration is fun and voice acting is solid.

It seems people can't agree if this game counts as Lovecraftian or not. Why?
Because you are not spoon-fed tentacles like in "The Sinking City" or promised eldritch lore like in "Bloodborne" ?
"Call of the Sea" IS exactly how Lovecraftian stories were way~~ before Lovecraftian genre became pop culture.

This game feels more dreamlike and inspired by H.G. Wells and Jules Verne novels from the 19th century.
It is a short game but man, what an experience!

My mouth was agape for most of this game. The graphics blew me away. Every scene, every element, every expanse was breathtaking. I was also very invested in the story as soon as I woke up on the ship. The ending(s) was/were where I found myself a little lost and unfulfilled. I know this falls into the Lovecraftian genre but I needed more darkness or meaning to the ending. Aside from that the puzzles were extremely fun and progressed the story very evenly. I loved the mechanics in looking at and using puzzle pieces and their elements was enjoyable. I look forward to any expansion of this game or if alternate endings will be added in the future. ;) 7/10

I´m joining most of the negative reviews: the game is not bad, it just doesn´t offer much gaming.

It´s a narrative experience, the puzzles are ridiculously easy and repetitive.

The story was interesting enough to see it through, but I was hating myself in the process.

Lovecraftianesque Firewatch is a good summary - another game that so many liked and I hated. Gotta be into slow paced chill movie like games for this one.

其他關都是剛好可以讓人以自我感覺良好(「阿,我難不成是天才?」)的速度解開,
除了風琴關(難),星盤關卡(難到靠北),這兩關都需要走來走去,但走得很慢,同一個機關解了又解又再解,重覆性高,
星盤關卡還要小畫家輔助才過得了關。我佩服那些一己之力通關的人。

畫面美配音有感情翻譯也很到位字型選擇也讚。不過這遊戲玩到最後才叫玩家做選擇(=要全成就還要從章節重玩)
整體來說很沉浸的遊戲,故事節奏也算快,不會讓人看不下去的劇情。氣氛營造也很好,玩到一半以為自己又不小心走入克蘇魯世界(幸好不是)

根本沒必要做兩種走路速度(全程按SHIFT才是加速,結果根本沒有快多少,小姆指頗累)
另外最後的選擇題其實是很不對等的,我覺得是遊戲過程中沒有讓玩家對角色身份產生歸屬感,以致於幾乎不用考慮我就開門走人了。 在找老公的前提下,應該沒甚麼人會選永恆生命吧?

«Хороший» Лавкрафт

Труды Г.Ф. Лавкрафта, - выдающегося писателя мистических ужасов, - в наши дни эксплуатируют все кому не лень. Особенно не везет Ктулху, как самому «раскрученному» Древнему; с завидной периодичностью достается Дагону, Гидре и Азатоту; про город Аркхэм не слышал только глухой. Такое впечатление, что сценаристы и геймдизайнеры хорроров и адвенчур упорно соревнуются между собой: кто заложит в игру больше отсылок к «лавкрафтовщине», тот и выиграл. Правда, что стоит на кону: негативные пользовательские рецензии, низкий рейтинг, обвинения в копипасте контента, - не уточняется. Игроков так часто помещали в одну и ту же психиатрическую лечебницу, так часто бросали на растерзание одним и тем же мифическим существам, что многие теперь знают бестиарий не хуже, чем таблицу умножения. Пожалуй, в этом и заключается основная проблема современных произведений «по мотивам»: когда выдуманное (недосказанное) превратилось в обыденное (очевидное), чем оно может заинтересовать?

Я счастлива, что наконец-то вышла игра, авторы которой бережно отнеслись к стилю и атмосфере первоисточника. Call of the Sea - короткое, яркое приключение, сюжет которого будет очевиден поклонникам книг, но для новичков может стать прекрасной стартовой точкой знакомства с вселенной Г.Ф. Играть предстоит за Нору - молодую женщину, которая приплывает на таинственный остров в поисках пропавшего мужа. Ей предстоит провести здесь три дня, восстанавливая последовательность событий по оставленным экспедицией следам. Все по заветам классических квестов: требуется обшаривать все углы на предмет подсказок и решать не всегда понятные головоломки [осторожно! любителей жанра может настигнуть острый приступ ностальгии]. В процессе героиня неожиданно обнаруживает странную связь между островом и своей болезнью, и для нее больше нет пути назад.

Ктулху фхтагн! Ой, то есть фталгоф’н кадишту (дочь идет).

Call of the Sea é um jogo linear com um pouco de exploração, focado em narrativa e puzzles, tem gráficos lindos, ótima parte sonora e não encontrei bugs.
A história é interessante, mas não é a melhor do mundo, porém os personagens são bem interessantes e existe sempre mistério o suficiente pra manter o jogador envolvido, na maior parte do jogo você precisa explorar o cenário, encontrar pistas e resolver os puzzles pra avançar, alguns são bens simples e outros são anormalmente muito difíceis (precisei de um guia pra entender a base do que precisava fazer), mesmo sim é uma boa experiência para uma jogatina de 6 horas.
Recomendo pra quem é fã deste estilo de jogo, apesar de lindo e interessante, não têm ação no jogo, o foco aqui é a experiencia narrativa, que é interessante e compensa pelos picos de dificuldade dos desafios do jogo.
-------------------------
Call of the Sea is a linear game with a bit of exploration, focused on narrative and puzzles, it has beautiful graphics, great sound and I didn't find any bugs.
The story is interesting, but not the best in the world, but the characters are very interesting and there is always enough mystery to keep the player involved, for most of the game you need to explore the scenario, find clues and solve the puzzles to advance , some are simple goods and others are abnormally very difficult (needed a guide to understand the basics of what I needed to do), it's still a good experience for a 6 hour playthrough.
I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of this style of game, despite being beautiful and interesting, there is no action in the game, the focus here is on the narrative experience, which is interesting and compensates for the difficulty peaks of the game's challenges.

This game gave sort of mixed feelings. I totally liked the visuals, atmosphere and sound design. But the puzzle were too hard and obscure. There are puzzles which had big areas and needed constant trekking up and down. And doing those with how slow the character moves even while running and slow ladder climbing animations is the only thing I hated in the game.

I always found short, narrative-driven adventure games to be a really special niche, probably the most accessible genre if you plan on showing a non-gamer the degree of sophistication and merit videogames can achieve, as an artistic medium.

Just think about it. Portal, SOMA, Firewatch or Limbo are games that require absolute no prior experience with a controller, deliver strong storylines and end before they have a chance to overstay their welcome. Interactive novelettes, if you will, with puzzles sprinkled throughout. I’m delighted to add Call of the Sea to that list, perhaps the most lush and colorful work of art to ever be inspired by Lovecraftian literature.

Such a bright day! 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Zuluf


Norah Everhart never had it easy. A hereditary disease is slowly killing her, with her blotted hands, hardly a pleasant sight, forcing her to don gloves whenever she goes out in civilised society. Even that is the least of her concerns in her current predicament: freshly landed on an island where her “Dear Old Pal” Harry went missing, trying to find a cure for her illness. The expedition’s dwindling party left behind notes, clues and journal entries, and your time will be split between reconstructing the story of the missing explorers and solving Myst-type puzzles to unlock the island’s secrets.

The sort of self-contained, brief but detailed experience that follows is something you’ve doubtlessly experienced before: an immersive walking simulator with a couple of eureka moments and engaging writing that is worth every penny. Like any good indie game, Call of the Sea makes the most out of minimalistic literary devices to stimulate the player’s imagination on multiple levels: Norah’s story is only the tip of the iceberg, and by the time you get to the credits you’ll have unveiled the ultimate fates of Roy, Frank, Cassandra, Teaharoa, Dr. DeWitt and Harry while understanding the origin of the island itself on tablets left behind by its original inhabitants, the Naacal. Everything ties in together, all the details matter and there’s a really good suspense curve - you only start figuring things out about halfway through the story, and the pacing of the revelations is spread out enough that you won’t need multiple playthroughs to understand everything. The mystery story aspect is interwoven with really streamlined exploration and walking sections (some of these sequences are absolutely breathtaking, their colorful underwater spectacle giving a bit of momentum to an otherwise fairly slow tempo) and the puzzles are simple, clever and varied enough to never become tedious or feel formulaic.

It's not much, but it's ftagh'n'igh! 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Zuluf


While the space and freedom granted to you seem very limiting, exploring every nook and opening up Norah’s notebook to revisit old clues will become second nature as you have small epiphanies regarding the solution to your next big puzzle. Each of the six chapters has one big mechanic, and while some involve the sort of mechanical common sense you would apply when fixing an appliance at home, others lean on your ability to interpret abstract symbols and associate them with figures you see plastered on the walls. Considering there’s only about six big puzzles in total, it’s pretty impressive how elaborate some of them can get while maintaining a sort of simplicity and elegance you expect from well designed mind games. Furthermore, you need to interpret most of the clues yourself, as they are mostly just icons and sketches, and there’s very little actual instruction attached.

Don't forget to wear sunscreen in Hell. 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Zuluf


In fact, one of the game’s strongest design decisions was to not provide a lot of handholding. You will always have all the tools required to understand what is required of you without it being spelled outright - make sure you explore every clue left behind and check your journal and you should never get stuck more than a few minutes on any puzzle. There is no way to die or reach an unsolvable state: you can relax, explore and take everything in at your own pace.

I would recommend this game to anyone who wants to see a hopeful, lighter shade of Lovecraftian storytelling with accessible puzzles and great tempo, knowing that it’s a single-serving experience (most of the collectibles are in your way, anyway) that will end in less than four hours. That said, they will be some of the better and more memorable four hours you can choose to spend on an interactive story.

-Этот остров... Он что-то сделал с нами...
Поначалу мы были веселы и полны сил, а теперь - разочарованы и злы друг на друга.

Время прохождения - 3.5 часа.

✅ - ХОРОШАЯ ПЕРВАЯ ПОЛОВИНА ИГРЫ.
1 - Атмосфера таинственного острова.
2 - Сюжет выше среднего.
3 - Приятные первые головоломки.
4 - Исследование для раскрытия лора - что же случилось с группой людей, куда она пропала, с помощью записок и окружения.



❌ -НУДНЕЙШАЯ ВТОРАЯ ПОЛОВИНА ИГРЫ.

1 - Головоломки одинаковые, вообще без видоизменений и одни и те же приходится проходить по 5-7 раз.
Если ты не правильно нажал последовательность, то ходи опять по ВСЕЙ БОЛЬШОЙ ЛОКАЦИИ между тремя этажами и нажимая заново символы.

2 - Ходьба стала нудятиной, "Сходи из точки А в точку Б, а потом вернись в точку А".

3 - Сюжет из серьёзного перерос в сказку по "ЛАВКРАФТУ", как будто сценарист на середине написания психанул и скинул со стола листы с чем-то интересным и уникальным, и пошёл в массовость.
Моментально становится плевать на то, что произойдёт в конце, потому что ты уже НЕ ВЕРИШЬ происходящим событиям, что они возможны.


❌ -КОММЕНТАРИИ ГЛАВНОГО ГЕРОЯ.
В нормальном "Симуляторе ходьбы" герой высказывает свои мысли ПОСЛЕ ТОГО как ты подобрал предмет или прочитал и ЗАКРЫЛ записку.
В "Калл Оф Зе Сиа" герой высказывает свои мысли ОДНОВРЕМЕННО с тем как ты читаешь текст на записке.


❌ -ВИЗУАЛ.
Вы рассказывается мрачную историю и при этом ваш визуал это яркие сочные тона?
Это несочитаемо, если вы хотите создать атмосферу.


❌ -БЕГ.
Не умеет герой бегать, иначе игра проходилась бы на час быстрее.

There are few games that I wish I could experience all over again; where every aspect of a game feels constructed by hand to fit my desires. This game is one of them.

From the first moment I saw Call of the Sea, I knew it would be something for me. The story about a woman with an illness, desperate to find answers about herself and her missing husband, in the shape of an incredibly beautiful game - both visually and as an experience. Discovering a story so full of mystery and love that you feel yourself drawn in from the first breath. It can only be described as what the first breath of air on the island must feel like.

If you want to be part of a story that you will never forget, let it be this. I know this will be one I speak of forever.

Good for achievement hunters, time to achieve 100%: 7.1 hours

Un véritable petit bijou. Call of the Sea est un jeu d'aventure à mi-chemin entre le walking simulator narratif (Firewatch) et le jeu à énigmes à l'ancienne (Myst). La partie narrative est passionnante, portée par un magnifique doublage de la protagoniste qui nous emporte dans une histoire purement Lovecraftienne. Les énigmes très faciles au début se corsent ensuite rappelant Myst ou The Dig, mais le système de journal interactif mettant en valeur les différents indices permet de ne jamais être trop frustré ou bloqué. Seul bémol, après 6 petites heures de jeu ce magnifique voyage touche à sa fin et la rejouabilité est quasi nulle.

For me, this game was truly one of the best experiences I have ever had with a video game. I have tons of positive things to say about this game in particular. The story was wonderfully crafted and I loved how this game was obviously inspired by authors like H.P. Lovecraft and Jules Verne. The atmosphere to this game was very immersive with its bright and beautiful settings. I was sucked into this game and its stories with its characters the moment I started playing, and it's one experience I shall never forget. Awesome job!

모든 엔딩 수집요소,도전과제 100% 완료
이스터에그도 좋았고 챕터 선택이 가능해 빠르게 달성했네요

엔딩 직전에 저장 꼭 하세요
용두사미인 게임들이 많은데 마지막 연출이 인상 깊었습니다.

적당히 납득이 가는 정도의 퍼즐 난이도
배경음악 퀄리티가 굉장히 좋습니다 OST도 구매했네여
다만 호흡이 생각보다 긴 게임이라 스토리를 풀어감에 있어서
가는 여정이 단조로워 좀 지루할 수도 있을거 같아요

요즘엔 짧고 굵은 게임이 좋더라구요 추천드립니다.

TL;DR: лавкрафтовщина дамская, уютная, абсолютно не “хоррорная” - но на удивление верная первоисточнику, вплоть до мелких деталей. По врубанию в лавкрафтовский оригинал - где-то рядом с Conarium и Transient, по подходу к головоломкам и визуальной части - явно вдохновлялись Myst и ему подобными. Нет, это не особо сложно и вообще не страшно - но в первую очередь красиво, а во вторую - интересно!

Сюжет и сеттинг: не страшно, но ТруЪ

На дворе - 30-е годы XX века. Поезда и корабли, чёрно-белые фотографии и бумажные письма… и исчезающие с каждым днём уголки планеты, в которых ещё нет толп туристов, зато сохранились какие-то легенды и поверья. В том числе и о “проклятых местах”, и о “шабашах нечистой силы”, и о древних культурах, до которых ещё не добрались историки и археологи. Именно в тот период затишья между двумя мировыми войнами, и именно такие места воспевал Говард Лавкрафт - и уже сильно после его смерти люди стали понимать, как можно графически передать эту тоску по последним (и стремительно закрывающимся) дверям в иное. Кто-то передаёт сугубо “букву, но не дух”, набор шаблонно-коммерческих клише “тентакли-культисты-Ктулху-страшнааааа”… а кто-то смотрит хотя бы немного глубже и пытается передать в том числе и контекст, в котором могли родиться именно такие страшные сказки своего времени. Call of the Sea - пример как раз такой визуализации. Понимание контекста и наличие хоть какой-то эрудиции - очень важные пререквизиты для наслаждения этой игрой.
Как люди путешествовали в эпоху до коммерческого авиасообщения. Когда основной единицей багажа был не чемодан, а СУНДУК :)

Есть, конечно общий минус у практически всех игр с тэгом Lovecraftian, за ОЧЕНЬ редкими исключениями. А именно - предсказуемость. Если вы хотя бы немного читали первоисточник, то уже с самого начала игры (сны о заплывах под водой; странная болезнь, заставляющая прятать руки; облегчение от этой болезни возле моря) понимаете, что где-то здесь порылась повесть Лавкрафта “The Shadow over Innsmouth”. И у вас сразу же складывается прескверное мнение о родне главной героини, хоть вы ничего о ней ещё и не слышали. Интриги - примерно ноль. Но… да и хрeн бы с ней, с интригой. В данном случае отсылки и атмосфера, пожалуй, важнее сюжетных ВОТЭТОПОВОРОТОВ. Более того, я очень рекомендую эту самую “Тень над Иннсмутом” прочитать, прежде чем садиться за игру. Сеттинг станет гораздо понятнее, и будет возможность оценить очень прямые отсылки к книге, разбросанные то тут, то там по уровням.
Не читавшие "Тень над Иннсмутом" вряд ли поймут отсылку, но тут героиню прям качественно ВПИСАЛИ В КАНОН.

Ну то есть - не спойлера ради, а контекста для, всё равно на сюжет не влияет - мало того, что героиня игры оказывается дальней родственницей героя повести, так в игре ещё и дело происходит на ТОМ САМОМ ОСТРОВЕ, с которого хитрозадый капитан Марш завёз в Иннсмут всякую водную нечисть. С проработкой деталей в достаточной степени, чтобы это не выглядело совсем уж отсебятиной. По крайней мере от этой игры Лавкрафт точно не перевернётся в гробу!

А что до “почему не хоррор”… в этом смысле что у Лавкрафта, что у очень многих его последователей от геймдева взгляд - “с позиции обычного человека”. Которого любая потусторонняя чертовщина адски пугает, кажется ему чуждой, и неистово его пинает при любой попытке посягнуть на территорию. Но что для обывателя “АААА УЖАС ЧТО ЭТО”… то для кого-то будет просто возвращением домой. Виды будут не пугающими, а атмосферными, родными и чарующими. И даже сопротивление если и будет - то интеллектуальное, а не боевое. И вот с точки зрения этого возвращающегося домой “кого-то” игра и сделана.

Геймплей и технические моменты

Шутки шутками, а авторам игры удалось сделать почти “Myst-like” адвенчуру в лавкрафтовском сеттинге. Ну, то есть, головоломки там проще, чем в классике от Cyan (прошла весь сюжет без гайдов за несколько вечеров, а потом ещё и пару тайников облазила под настроение) - но дизайн этих головоломок руководствуется примерно теми же принципами. Это своего рода “тест на IQ” - умение подмечать закономерности, сопоставлять знаки, цифры и даже звуки, кое-где высчитывать тайминги и заглядывать по углам. И радует, что эти сопоставления и высчитывания всё же сделаны без особого садизма - тут есть даже “блокнот”, куда все эти знаки записываются, да ещё и с “личным дневником” героини, в котором можно найти какие-то ненавязчивые подсказки. Брать отдельные листок и ручку, как для классических “мистоидов” - к счастью, не надо. Но мозги и упомянутая выше эрудиция всё равно потребуются!

Визуально тоже хоть и попроще инопланетного Obduction от тех же Cyan - но весьма атмосферно и, не побоюсь этого слова, эпично в примерно том же духе. Чётко выверенная цветовая гамма; драматичное освещение рассветов, закатов, молний и подводной люминесценции; монументальные сооружения не всегда известного назначения (в этом тоже предстоит разобраться). Опять же, это игра про возвращение домой - и этот дом должен завораживать, а не пугать, и уж тем более не быть скучной штамповкой из типовых ассетов. У игры есть DLC с электронным артбуком - и по нему можно убедиться, что углы не срезали нисколько, всё продумано с нуля самими авторами игры.
И да, на удивление хорошо выглядит даже на деке, в динамике даже лучше, чем на скриншотах.

Ну и если совсем уж технически… графика хоть и 3D, но не фотореалистичная, а стилизованная. Посему не тормозит даже на Steam Deck, но и не выглядит совсем уж урезанным "мылом". Но если играть на любом портативном девайсе, то всё же есть некоторый минус: хоть оно и стилизованный, и не тормозящий, но всё-таки Unreal Engine (к счастью, хотя бы 4, а не 5). Ну то есть, батарею жрёт как скoтина, разряжает часа за +-полтора. Разумеется, красота редко бывает бесплатной (в конце концов, самый первый Myst в 90-е годы тоже был очень требовательной игрой, и шёл далеко не на всём железе). Но это один из тех случаев, когда есть смысл поиграть, даже если ради этого придётся посидеть у розетки.



Подытоживая (хотя это уже очевидно) - игра понравилась очень, и приключение для интеллектуального Хэллоуина не напугало, но оказалось именно что интеллектуальным и не побоюсь этого слова, эстетичным. Рекомендую очень, и пусть эта игра тоже притянет к себе своих, как древние руины - главную героиню!

Call of the Sea can be described as: a forgettable adventure, sprinkled with fun, but easy puzzles. The exposition-heavy "narration" of the main heroine ruins the atmosphere of this journey, which isn't that strong to begin with, especially for a story dealing with eldritch terrors from beyond. The only reason to play this are the puzzles, although they too fail to keep you invested, as you won't really care about reaching the end, especially if a fan of Lovecraft, which will instantly turn the plot into an extremely predictable one. It has its moments, sure, and the visuals are beautiful, but this is generally a mediocre experience.

I wish there was a neutral button.

I agree with most of the pluses and minuses other reviews give. Basically, I would recommend this as a walking simulator. I think it would take about 5 hours to beat if you just went straight through. About 3 hours of my playtime was admiring the scenery. Same as with Firewatch though I would probably recommend that game over this one..

The main issue I had with the game is that it gets less suspenseful as time goes on so don't get this expecting it to be a horror/suspense game. The last 3 hours of the game were pretty relaxing. I read that it was Lovecraft inspired and I mistakenly thought the tone would be more nerve rattling. Unfortunately, I think I would have preferred to play as the husband's story as the bits and pieces found made that more interesting than the actual story I'm playing.

I had high hopes and I think it could be an incredible game. Obviously a lot of work was put into it. i read the negatives in the reviews but I thought I'd feel different as I am stubborn, persistent...but...it is so clunky (pc) to move around and do tasks that it is absolutely tortuous. I really wanted to enjoy this game. I did not and actually quit in chapter two....something I never do, except for this game.

Very good game for those new to Lovecraftian horror stories. Not even scary in the most parts. Just mysterious. The puzzles are also fairly stress free and can be completed without online walkthroughs. The game incentivizes you to find all the clues before solving the puzzles, allowing you to gather all the necessary info to finish each puzzle.

Зов моря - это удивительная игра о великой любви, которую не может победить смерть.
Завязка сюжета: 1930-е годы. Семейная пара - Нора и Гарри. Нора болеет неизвестной кожной болезнью. Гарри в поисках лекарства снаряжает экспедицию и уплывает на необитаемый остров. Где пропадает вместе с экспедицией. Недолго думая, Нора отправляется на поиски мужа.
Плюсы игры:
- великолепная симфоническая музыка. Браво!
- отличная красочная графика - закаты, косой дождь, прозрачная вода. Второй раз браво!
- величественные ролики, от которых дух захватывает. И еще раз браво!
- интересный не избитый сюжет - здесь нет киберпанка, космической фантастики или выпрыгивающих из-за угла монстров. Это просто история любви двух воспитанных людей. Супруги обращаются друг к другу в письмах: "Мой сердечный друг". Все корректно, выдержано в духе довоенных лет прошлого века. Играешь и веришь. Как будто не прошел почти век после событий игры.
- разнообразные головоломки, усложняющиеся по мере прохождения. Хотя вполне проходимые. Система подсказок к головоломкам тщательно собирается в дневник. Нужно внимательно прочитать, немного подумать и все.
- игра разбита на главы, можно начинать с любой из них. Главы автономны.
А теперь минусы:
- меня как истинного игрока в квесты раздражает хождение с помощью зажатых клавиш W+Shift. Я не в платформер села играть.
- героиня очень любит поговорить и комментирует буквально все. Разговаривает она басом, на экране - перевод. Устала я от бесконечной бубнежки. Можно было этот закадровый голос урезать раза в четыре, хуже не стало бы.
- огромное количество бумажек, которые надо прочитать, чтобы найти подсказку, огромное количество фотографий, чтобы найти подсказку. Современные квесты теперь так делают? К концу игры я закопалась в этих бумажках. Сложилось впечатление, что я играю в игру "я ищу", где на неподвижном экране нужно найти энное количество предметов и потом получить приз (подсказку в дневник). Здесь явный перебор.
- финалов два и оба плохие.
Тем не менее, за выдержанность общего стиля, интересный сюжет, отличную графику и музыку я рекомендую эту игру. Ставлю 8 фотографий Гарри из 10.

Je n'ai pas l'habitude de rédiger des avis, même sur des jeux que j'adore mais celui-là !
J'ai acheté le jeu peu après sa sortie et je ne regrette en rien l'argent que j'y ai mis. Ça a été pour moi une véritable claque pour différentes raisons.
Tout d'abord : les graphismes. Que ce soit les couleurs ou les jeux de lumière et d'ombre, ce jeu est magnifique. Les décors sont à couper le souffle et je trouve le style graphique magnifique, même pour ce qui est des temps de chargement ! La luminosité évolue suivant vos déplacements et ça met bien l'ambiance. Quel que soit le niveau dans lequel on se trouve, il y a toujours des endroits qu'on peut prendre en screenshot et je vous garantis que ça fait de magnifiques fonds d'écran.
Ensuite il y a la bande son. Ici, pas de musiques buguées ou inadaptées. Tant la musique que les bruitages vous mettent dans une atmosphère prenante et je suis passé par bon nombre d'émotions dans ce jeu uniquement grâce aux sons que percevaient mes oreilles.
Petit conseil : si vous avez un casque, utilisez-le pour y jouer et mettez-vous dans l'ambiance avant même de lancer le jeu. Pour ma part j'y ai joué le soir avec une seule petite lampe allumée à côté du PC et ça a renforcé mon imprégnation de l'ambiance.
Je n'ai pas abordé l'histoire, un point tout aussi important selon moi pour un jeu. Comment résumer cela en peu de mots sans spoiler ? Le scénario a été fait aux petits oignons. L'histoire qui paraît simple au premier abord vous amène à découvrir une aventure plus profonde et un background plus complexe qu'il n'y paraît. Là aussi, suivant les chapitres, je suis passé par tout un panel d'émotions.
Enfin, au niveau du gameplay, je n'ai pas grand chose à ajouter. Je joue très peu aux jeux d'aventures et de casse-têtes d'habitude. J'ai trouvé les énigmes assez simples parce que j'ai pris le temps de tout lire et de regarder toutes les notes, mais j'ai quand même été coincé à certains endroits, juste assez pour ne pas aller bêtement chercher la solution sur internet. Si vous prenez le temps de fouiller, les énigmes se résolvent d'elles-mêmes.
En commençant à jouer, je voyais qu'il me faudrait 6 à 8 heures pour le finir et je me suis dit : "C'est trop court !" Et plus j'ai avancé dans l'histoire, plus je me suis dit que finalement 8 heures pour un jeu comme ça, c'est très bien. Quel intérêt de faire une histoire à rallonge qui perde de son piquant au fil de la progression ?
Donc voilà, en résumé rien n'est à jeter dans ce jeu. La bande son, le décor et l'histoire font vivre une expérience inoubliable. Je le recommande chaudement !

Such a lovely game - a brilliant interpreted narration + wonderfull graphics and environment + adventurous engaging story.
Kept me playing from start to finish, only took a break to sleep.
Very recommended: do yourself a favour, take a break from 2020 and go on a trip to a mystical and mysterious island on the South Pacific.

TLDR:: IT'S A WALKING SIMULATOR and it plays mostly like one, but if that's what you're looking for, this one is quite alright.

This is a walking simulator "with light puzzle elements" (compared to "actual" first person puzzle games like myst,riven,the room), but as walking simulators go, this one actually kept me going until the end with an interesting story and pretty storytelling,.graphics and altogether presentation, although the story is a bit cheesy and or predictable at times.

This game is absolutely beautiful - it is vibrant and full of life.

The story is fairly short, with 6 chapters and about 4-6 hours of game play. Whilst being short, the story is rich and narrative and does a fantastic job at painting the mysteries that you are trying to uncover.

I found myself struggling to get into the game at the start, but this is honestly a characteristic of somebody like me with a short attention span. However, I was quickly captivated by the story and wanted to continue to the end to find out more about the expedition that you are tracking.

Some of the puzzles are easy, and some are rather challenging. I admit, I took to google to find some hints and tips on a few of the puzzles but found good satisfaction when I was able to complete them. Whilst I am not a huge fan of puzzle games, this was thoroughly enjoyable and kept my mind stimulated and engaged.

The only thing I can honestly complain about is how slow it feels to move around the environment. Whilst there is a "run" button, it does little to speed you up. I understand these kinds of games often have a slow walking pace, however it can remove some of the enjoyment out of the game when you are forced to constantly go back and forth between clues and areas at such a slow pace of movement. I will say that it was tolerable, perhaps only because of the beautiful graphics and enticing story. I certainly became attached to Norah and Harry.

I would recommend this game.

Call of the sea is a callback to the golden age of point-and-click adventure games with a hefty dose of puzzles and exploration thrown into the mix. The story follows Norah Everhart, a young woman struggling with an inherited terminal disease that led her loving husband Harry to go on a quest to find a cure on a forbidden tropical island where he and the entire expedition mysteriously goes missing. In the beginning of the game Norah receives a package with a few mysterious items from the lost expedition and embarks on a quest to find out what happened to her soulmate Harry. On the way we are treated to lovely environments, engaging puzzles and a genuinely heartwarming story that is narrated via the internal monologue of the main character.

So the story as you might have figured out from the trailer is heavily influenced by Lovecraft yet takes it on a somewhat of a spin in the end and makes it a truly satisfying conclusion. Personally I think this might be one of the better versions of this type of story yet to come to digital media. First of all the environment and atmosphere in this game is spot on. Every chapter has its own unique look and feel to it and it brings up a wide variety of strange surroundings, weird pictograms, clever insertions of lore into the game via found logs and small cutscenes. The narration is perfect and the encountering of clues via logs and photos are fitting. The puzzles are well constructed and even though a few were a bit convoluted we finished most of the game without clues.

All in all this is a wholesome story of a sick young woman looking for her lost lover in a strange land and on the way stumbles upon things that make her question her place in the world. I strongly recommend this game for the story alone yet the environments, the puzzles and the feeling of otherworldliness takes this game to a whole new level. I encountered no bugs or glitches of any kind and generally had a fantastic time with this game.

10/10, Would surely swim out to that brooding reef again and again and again..

Although this game looks visually stunning, anyone playing with a mouse needs to know that you will not be able to interact with most objects from Chapter One onwards. It made the game unplayable for me and I had to refund. Only later did I find on the discussion board evidence that this problem has been ongoing for two years and the developers have ignored it.

Wow, a beautiful story. The only downside from my perspective was that trying to play with a mouse got me a little motion sick, but I switch to a controller and had no issues after that. Seriously just a well put together story.

Despite usually enjoying this type of game and setting and looking forward to this a lot; I found Call of the Sea very slow and frustrating.

Whilst it has a nice art style, an intriguing story and at times, an atmospheric setting a number of elements of this game started to immediately make the experience of playing it unenjoyable for me.

One of the big irritations was just how bad it feels to navigate the world - despite having a decent PC there is a lot of screen tearing for no particular reason. I tried using both controller and mouse but either way everything feels very sluggish and awkward. You move around at an agonising, lumbering slow pace - there is a run button but this is the equivalent of walking in other games.

There is nothing gameplay wise you haven't seen before done better - explore a small area, read audio logs, solve a few puzzles and move on. Take BioShock, remove all the gameplay, throw in some puzzles and fit the player with some extremely heavy lead shoes and you'll start to get an idea of how it feels to play this.
Some of the puzzles are quite frustrating too - one of them made no sense to me even after I'd looked up the solution.

I also found the main character (a posh lady from the 1930's) very uninspiring and her constant vocalisation of her inane or obvious thoughts immediately started to grate. Regularly she would be making some pointless comment on notes I'd literally just picked up before I'd even had a chance to read what she was referring to.

Drawn on by the story I found myself rushing through the puzzles because I wanted to see the conclusion. As I started to expect as the end drew near - there was no big satisfying reveal and I didn't feel it was worth the effort.

In summary: very overrated and mediocre.
If Steam let you rate games I'd give it a 2.5 out of 5.

I think this game very fundamentally misses what I feel are really important aspects of this genre. The core of this genre is usually giving players narrative intrigue that drives the clue gathering, which inform one's ability to solve puzzles, and then find more narrative leads. These then become a self-reinforcing loop of discovery. This game isn't one of those.



Let's start with the storytelling. The clues dropped by the other characters are not particularly interesting, they very obviously lay out the story and then on top of that, your character monologues over each and every one. She essentially repeats what the thing just said with extra explanations that are so un-subtle it feels like the author constantly whispering in your ear.

Imagine if you came across a note that said 'I'm going to have some toast', and then your character says 'Huh, he was going to have some toast, seems like he was hungry'. Imagine that, but for basically every item pickup, for hours. I felt like I was never really able to think or feel about the story on my own, I was always being told *precisely* what's going on. It was also incredibly annoying.

The puzzles rarely make the world feel like a real world because they're not attached to the game world in any meaningful way. They're mostly very arbitrary and combined with the journal system, it fits you in a passive groove where you're sliding around objects until the pages are full of notes. Once the pages are full, you have all the instructions you need to 'solve' the puzzle, almost no thinking required. And then you proceed to the next area where you do the exact same thing but just a little more complicated.

Together, these elements result is a game where I'm on autopilot. The game doesn't want me or need me to contemplate, examine or feel for myself about anything, it's a series of straightforward visuals, interactions and dialogue pieces that wash over me.



This game is so fundamentally lacking in subtlety and cohesion that even if you wanted to say, turn off the character's dialogue (I tried because of how annoying it was), the world-building is so lacking that you can't make it through or understand certain things without her voice chaperoning you the whole time. The puzzles are so arbitrary and disconnected from the world, you *need* the journal system to be your instruction manual for opening the doors.

I played through the whole thing and I felt like at no moment was my own curiosity actually rewarded. That's a really big failure for an adventure game.

This game was also a fundamentally tiring and annoying experience. I really don't want to have to say that about a game, especially one that clearly looks like it's had a good amount effort put into it, but nice graphics do not make a good game and it completely misses what makes this genre compelling. I'm actually kind of shocked by how much it misses.

I really, REALLY wanted to like this game, but it was so disappointing. The clues were too staged (mostly just crates with letters and photos on them) and the "secrets" were ludicrous - even for a fan of the fantasy genre. The puzzles were either tedious and repetitive or downright simple, and the heroine was not at all likeable, particularly her "pip pip and chin up old chap" ridiculous British stereotype. The game looked so promising in its marketing but failed on pretty muchl every level. :(

I had an amazing experience, however puzzles are a bit simple but all of them are logic.

The story and voice over are great. If you look for all journal entries and secrets it would take between 5~7 hours to finish based on my experience :).

I had a great time. I definitely recommend.

操作非常折磨。全程手柄RT没松过,因为走路实在太慢了……就算加速也就类似其他游戏的正常走路速度,以至于没有耐心自己重复去观察线索,毕竟一旦漏了线索想再回头找,脑补了那个速度就oh~no~~~反正爱解谜都救不了,哦对还卡了一次bug(最后结局那下楼梯竟然死活下不去,重启了游戏才好)
关键两个结局其实也都不喜欢: 回到家园(那古早文明的地方天天就游泳有啥意思啊……)回人类的家和哈利过完余生,害,1934年去岛上,1946(结尾照片上的时间)差不多过世,也就12年,哎……
所以打完有点不爽,本来想给差评的,片尾曲一响(合唱有爱~)外加场景有些设计还是8错的算了还是好评吧。
整体流程6小时左右,原价真的不要入。

First off, let's get the obvious out of the way: this is a gorgeous game.

Now, this is half puzzle game, half walking simulator. I thoroughly enjoyed the puzzles, although the walking simulator parts that drive the narrative forward... well, it's not bad, it's just not for me.

I was attracted by the historical, romantic aspect, but the supernatural and fantasy elements didn't really do it for me. If you like these two mixed up, though, you're in luck.

Norah, the main character, is quite compelling, although she seems completely disincarnate. First, she has moral values more akin to someone born a century later, and second and most importantly, she seems to have perfect information about everything. She deduces a lot of things and gives the player way too much information based on what she observes, to the point where it's no longer nudging, and she's spoon-feeding you stuff that you couldn't have gathered on your own, but you're being told with great authority by Norah that it's so.

This isn't a revolutionary title, but it's definitely worth playing. It was a thoroughly pleasant adventure, with a compelling love story, good puzzles, absolutely stunning visuals and a compelling setting. At 5-8 hours, it doesn't overstay its welcome.

Last off, I hope to one day find someone that calls me "my dear old pal".

This is a beautiful game. I liked the story of the game; it has a great flow to it. It is a pretty short game compared to many other games. This game took me about a full day to complete. The puzzles are fun and not too hard. This would be a great game for junior high kids to juniors of college to play. A big ♥♥♥ for me was that the walking and sprinting was SO slow! It was hard for me to enjoy the game sometimes - especially near the end due to how slow the player had to go. A pro/♥♥♥ was at the end of the game. The pro is that there are two endings and they are both great. The ♥♥♥ is how one ended due to how another player earlier in the game was tied to a pole when changing and entered the water as a fish man, so my thought process was why couldn't this particular character change at the end as well if the other character could. Anyway, other than that tidbit, this game is so fun and engaging. I think that adults as well as teens or older children would find it very fun to play or watch. Due to the "voices" and darker environments, I think that it might seem scary to younger children to play or watch.

Highly recommend! (but please fix the speed of walking/sprinting - thanks!)

To be clear - this isn't a BAD game. I would suggest buying it on sale. However, I would more fervently suggest that you buy Return of the Obra Dinn instead - at the same price tag, it's a much more focused and original title, delivering on a similar atmosphere but with more and better puzzles and a stronger sense of style.
Call of the Sea is a Myst-like 3D puzzler with a lovecraft-inspired story. It delivers strongly on visuals, voice and sound design, and accessibility. As a puzzler, however, it's sorely lacking. The puzzles are actually quite limited; there are only a few per level, and none of them are particularly challenging, especially considering the journal mechanic of the game that records important information for you, highlighting what you'll need. To pad out its run time in spite of its relatively easy puzzles, the game spreads out the necessary manipulable objects over large maps and gives you a very slow walk speed, meaning that you solve the puzzle in your head and then spend several minutes of busywork walking from button to button testing your answer. I beat the game in 6 hours, but was bored or disengaged for much of it. By contrast, I beat Obra Dinn in about the same amount of time, but did so in a fervor, feverishly picking through clues and testing theories, unable to put the game down.
Call of the Sea does have its charms. The story is good, the art and sound design are fantastic, and there are several gripping and interesting moments. But it's not a great game. It's pretty normal. If Obra Dinn didn't exist, I'd give this game a reticent thumbs up and tell you to buy it on sale. But Obra Dinn does exist, and its a much more engaging experience. It is also a Lovecraft-inspired 3D puzzler, but where Call of the Sea phones in a handful of old lock-and-key pictogram puzzles that it borrowed from early Myst games and changed the aesthetic on, Obra Dinn has a singular puzzle mechanic all its own that has been well considered and beautifully designed to make you actually feel like a detective piecing together an obscure chain of events. Call of the Sea is a perfectly good game. But for the same price, you could get a masterpiece that's doing nearly everything this game tries to do but better.

Fine narration game, some puzzles are quite hard (i had to cheat)
Playing in Linux is possible, there was some performance lag at the end and i think some overlays don't appear while readings some notes.

精品小游戏,主打解密冒险。但我玩完只想说一句,如果不用虚幻4做这游戏表现会更好
1.剧情讲的是爱情上的相濡以沫,你为我跨洋过海寻求解药,我抛弃一切重新踏上你的足迹。
2.画面鲜明艳丽,甚至有一点刺眼?饱和度挺高的,画风6分卡通4分写实。
3.说是克苏鲁题材,但其实我没怎么感觉到,克苏鲁元素挺少的
4.女主可能身体不舒服,走路堪比乌龟,跑步堪比慢羊羊
5.游戏里面你见不到任何一个npc,有很强烈的孤独感和神秘感
6.有些谜题我觉得有点刁钻了,太抽象了,也可能是我太笨了
7.结尾曲挺好听了,躺我歌单里面了
8.游戏是双结局

Первые части были военными шутерами от первого лица, но тут они почему-то поменяли жанр... какая-то заезженная шутка вышла, не буду продолжать.

Call of the Sea это симулятор ходьбы (но на самом деле это point & click adventure в полном 3D) с "лавкрафтовским" бэкгаундом, при этом именно бэкграундом, пугать тут никто и не собирался.

Самой похожей на эту игру можно назвать игру "Firewatch", которая делит с сабжем голос главной героини, и упорное нежелание рисовать модели других персонажей-людей. По сюжету, главная героиня, Нора, болеет некоей неизвестной болезнью, из-за которой её руки покрылись странными пятнами. Муж Норы, видный профессор, в поисках лекарства отправился куда-то в Полинезию и перестал выходить на связь. Вообще я думал что лекарства от болезней ищутся немного не путешествиями по тропическим островам, но ладно уж, не будем придираться. Вообщем экспедиция исчезла, и Нора отправляется на поиски. Шаг за шагом она проходит тот же путь что и экспедиция её мужа, ну и в конце концов откроет пару каких-нибудь тайн ;)

Вообщем тут у нас что-то среднее между симулятором ходьбы и квестом. В игре есть несколько уровней каждый где-то по часу длиной, в каждом из которых есть несколько паззлов. Паззлы разной сложности, в один из них я не въехал даже прочитав подсказки, но практически все решил сам, а я в паззлах не очень. Героиня ведёт дневник, где в свободное время записывает свои похождения, и ещё делает симпатичные зарисовки, а кроме того записывает и зарисовывает всё что нужно для решения паззлов, что авторы явно подсмотрели у Дрейка в Анчартеде. Есть две концовки, правда не сильно друг от друга отличающиеся. Некоторые достижения будет крайне сложно получить не смотря в гайд. Но самое лучшее в игре это её дизайн, некоторые уровни нарисованы просто потрясно, прям глаза радуются.

В целом весьма неплохо, рекомендую.

Je joue sur Linux. Version Linux : non. Proton : excellent.

Le jeu

Entre le simulateur de marche et l'escape game, Call of the Sea nous emmène sur une mystérieuse île du pacifique sud à la recherche de notre mari disparu en expédition. Le jeu est magnifique, plein de petits détails, les ambiances sont variées. On passe de la jungle luxuriante en plein soleil à un bateau éventré sur une plage en pleine tempête, l'ambiance variant avec, de plutôt joyeuse à inquiétante.

Dans chaque chapitre, on explore, on découvre des indices sur ce qui s'est passé pendant l'expédition, et d'autres pour résoudre les énigmes qui s'offrent à nous. En général il s'agira de comprendre comment associer divers symboles dans l'environnement (c'est la partie qui ressemble pas mal à un escape game, les objets en moins). Les casses-têtes ne sont pas difficiles sans être donnés non plus, on est clairement là pour l'histoire.

L'histoire tient la route, nous est révélée petit bout par petit bout, et je trouve que le suspens reste pas mal entier jusqu'au bout, l'histoire pouvant partir aussi bien d'un côté que de l'autre à tout moment.

Graphiquement c'est vraiment beau et légèrement cartoonesque. La musique est un plaisir, et si le doublage de la protagoniste est excellent, ceux des autres personnages est un peu en retrait je trouve. Je ne sais pas ce que vaut la traduction française, j'y ai joué en anglais car je trouve assez pénible d'avoir un sous titre qui ne correspond pas à ce que j'entends.

Rejouabilité, achievements

Aucune rejouabilité, ça reste une histoire à découvrir. Niveau achievements, certains sont un peu obscurs et nécessiteront probablement un guide pour être ne serait-ce que découverts, heureusement le jeu propose de rejouer chaque chapitre indépendamment. Il indique aussi combien de notes/objets ont été découvert pour chaque, ce qui est fort pratique :).

En bref

Un des rares jeux qui m'a suffisamment tenu en haleine pour que je le termine en une seule session. Un vrai plaisir.

GNU/Linux

Le jeu tourne sans problèmes avec Proton 7.0-3. Sur ma configuration, entre 80 et 120fps en ultra suivants les environnements.

OS: Linux Mint 20.3 x64, MATE edition.
Hardware : 5950x, Nvidia 3080Ti, 64GB ram.
Screens : Dualscreen, 1x 4K & 1x 1920x1200, un seul screen X.

Interesting story, a few challenging puzzles, and a vibrant art style. This is a good deal of fun to play, the puzzles weren't too difficult, and really felt rewarding to figure out, although a couple times I found myself figuring out the puzzle and then when going to execute the solution the puzzle was completely solved when I did have the solution (only because the 2nd half was already done by pure coincidence), which was a bit anticlimactic but that was just my playthrough. Overall a decent game, not too long but didn't feel short either.

------------------------------
Control Scheme I Used:
Keyboard and Mouse default bindings, no issues when playing.

------------------------------
Worth the current price (CDN$ 22.99)? I'd say so, it's a bit short but the quality of the game is there for sure.
What I actually paid: $15.58

------------------------------
Completionist Review:
DLC Achievements: None
Rating: Pretty standard, many hidden achievements
Can be completed in one run: Yes, but may have to redo a couple chapters.
Chapter Select: Yes, and it says which chapters have missing items, but there's also more achievements that don't specify which chapter they're in.
Did I need/use a guide? I tried not to, but there were a few that I just couldn't figure out what they meant or what to do to get them.

Required a quick 2nd playthrough of many chapters, but they all go by fairly quickly after you've played it once through already. I think some parts may have actually been randomized on my 2nd round, or i just forgot them entirely, but either way i knew how to solve everything pretty quick on the 2nd runs.

I played through this game in one sitting, that's how entranced I was with the story. There was one puzzle that made absolute no sense to me, I only figured it out by looking up a walk through and though that walk through explained the answer I still didn't get it. I might be dumb though haha.
Putting that one puzzle aside though I LOVED THIS GAME. The story is phenomenal, it's pretty, I made sure to save before the most important choice so I could take all of the pathways and they all wrecked me emotionally (in the good way). If you're a fan of puzzle/adventure/story type games I would absolutely give this one a go. SO GOOD. DO IT. I swear it's worth every cent!!!
Also, had no idea where in the heck the devs were taking us until I saw a particular can of tuna that the protagonist said had a man who looked quite like her grandfather on it. Brilliant. 10 out of 10 would recommend to all mystery lovers. :)

Call of the Sea - oynanır - 7/10

Hikaye - eh işte (6/10) :
Bir hastalıktan muzdarip olan kadın karakterimize tedavi arama ümidiyle kocası pasifikteki bir adaya gidiyor. Gittikten bir süre sonra Norah'a bir mektup yollayıp gelmesini istiyor. Bu şekilde oyunun macerası başlıyor.

Görsellik - Güzel özgün bir tarz, göze hoş geliyor. Firewatch'a benzettim.
Çizimler çok hoşuma gitti, oyunu tavsiye etmemin sebeplerinden biri de güzel bir görsel teması olması. Çok hoş ekran görüntüleri yakalayabilirsiniz.

Oynanış - Yürüme simülatörü, obje toplama, bulmaca çözme
Yürüme kısmı biraz sinir bozucu. Bu tarz oyunlarda bence karakterin hızı biraz artırılmalı hiç değilse bize imkan olarak sunulmalı. Yavaş yavaş bir köşeden diğerine gidiyorsunuz, bir şey eksik olduğunu farkedip geri tekrar saçma mesafeleri yürümek zorunda kalıyorsunuz. Bu kısımları bence oyunun eksi kısımları.

25tl iken almıştım indirimde. Normalde böyle bir oyuna bu kadar para verirken düşünürdüm acaba değecek mi diye ama bu oyuna heveslendiğim için aldım. Ama 6 saatlik bir oynanışla(tabi şimdi oynanış kısmı keyifliyse 2saat de olsa değer mesela Firewatch, ama oynanışta belirttiğim sıkıntılar zevki biraz baltalıyor) 25tlye bana kalırsa almayın. Bekleyin ileride mutlaka daha çok indirimi olur.

흥미로운 스토리가 있는 퍼즐게임
오랜만에 재밌게 플레이한 3D 퍼즐게임이었습니다. 자칫 지루할 수 있는 퍼즐들의 나열을 몰입감있는 스토리로 이끌어가주었기 때문에 끝까지 재밌게 플레이 할 수 있었습니다.

처음에는 캐릭터 속도가 조금 답답하지만, 곧 달리는 기능이 해금되서 크게 불편하지는 않습니다. 퍼즐게임을 만들려면 이렇게 만들어야 하는구나 싶은 게임입니다. 전반적으로 "하우스 오브 다빈치"나 "더 룸"시리즈와 비슷한 느낌입니다. 2D라는 차이는 있지만, 러스티레이크 시리즈와도 유사합니다.

퍼즐의 구성 또한 좋았는데, 일지 시스템을 적극활용해서 단서를 발견할떄마다 캐릭터가 자동으로 일지에 기록해줍니다. 필요에 따라 글자나 그림으로 기록해주기 떄문에 한 번 단서를 발견하면 번거롭게 왔다갔다 할 필요가 없어서 좋았습니다. 게다가 퍼즐들이 순서대로 풀게끔 되어 있고, 혹시 이렇게 하면 되지 않을까? 하는 범위 내에서 풀도록 난이도가 설계되어 있어서 좋았습니다.

오랜만에 아주 만족스럽게 플레이한 퍼즐게임이었습니다. 강력하게 추천합니다.

This game was a surreal experience, very beautiful sights to see and explore, all while uncovering and learning the main plot of the story. The puzzles itself for me were kind of hard, but it makes it worth it in the end. Play this game if you want to challenge and work your brain! :D

Отличная игра для любителей побродить, спокойно порешать головоломки и полюбоваться на пейзажи. Очень понравился визуал, технически тут ничего особенного нет, но на фоне мыльных блеклых современных игр, выглядит просто шикарно. Головоломки сбалансированные, решать не так уж просто, но и в итоге не пришлось лезть в гайды из-за отсутствия логики, чем грешат многие квесты. Сюжет - лавкрафтовщина "для всей семьи", возрастной рейтинг не позволяет показывать каких-то особых ужасов, но все равно получилось весьма канонично.

В целом даже не знаю к чему придраться, сделано качественно. Конечно для многих любителей пострелять будет "душно", но ребята, это не для вас. Тут скорее упрощенный Myst на тропическом острове и с возможностью свободно перемещаться по локации. Поэтому если сама мысль о необходимости чуть-чуть почитать и подумать вас не ужасает - можете смело брать, рекомендую.

P.S. Еще местная главная героиня отличный образец того, как нужно делать сильных женщин в фильмах и играх. Умными, смелыми, но без придури современной. Ну вы поняли о чем я.

Good story, likeable protagonist, beautiful art style, puzzles are often challenging and require you to actually explore to find the clues to solve them. The game is largely a walking point and click simulator from a first person perspective. There won't be any combat here but the story is engaging and will keep you going. Takes lots of elements from HP Lovecraft stories but doesn't beat you over the head with them. Relatively short game but a nice and relaxing break from action/rpg games, racers, and shooters.

Be warned though, the game doesn't look graphically intensive but it will make your GPU run hotter than you would expect. The game also lacks a lot of graphics settings that have become standard on PC. Not FPS capped but feels somewhat limited as if playing on a console

Mixed feelings about this one. Would probably get it on sale.

The story, graphics and puzzles are good, no doubt about that.

Although I've grown REALLY impatient for the slow movement and searching for clues. I generally don't mind having to wander and double check some stuff, but this game was too much. I showed it to my girlfriend and she initially liked it but she also got irritated soon and just stopped playing.

Next thing is the character-thinking-out-loud way of narration. I'm personally not a fan of this approach.

Also, it's short. For $15 you can find games which will take more than 10 hours to finish or have any replay value. Personally I wouldn't buy it for the full price again.

The game is very nice to look at with well designed environments, but my god the movement speed makes getting around anywhere an absolute chore. Even the sprint speed felt slower than the default walking speed in other games. What makes it even worse is you have to go backwards and forwards across levels to gather information needed for puzzles and it's just so tedious.

The story is fine, but starts far too slow didn't really pull me in properly until halfway through.

Puzzles were mostly easy apart from one or two spikes in difficulty that just felt far too obtuse.

By far the biggest offender though is that the main character will just not shut up! Every single thing you do she'll either weigh in with her opinion and point out every single, obvious thing possible, or she'll remind you for the billionth time of her illness. The frequency with which she talks could be halved and it would still be too much. If I ever have to hear her say "My dear old pal" or something self pitying about her illness ever again I will get rid of my PCs and spend the rest of my days as a hermit in the mountains.

Inmerse yourself in this enganing love story

Call of The Sea is a very beautiful walking sim game with an interesting story and gorgeus colors.

Pros:
  • Fantastic Narrative, the story is very interesting.
  • Bright colors, beautiful landscapes.
  • Soundtrack is good.
  • Searching for the clues to complete the puzzle is fun.
  • Backtracking perfect to collect everything.

♥♥♥♥:
  • Puzzles, not hard... but you probably will solve the first ones by brute force since the game doesnt lead you how to interpretate them
  • I encounter some perfomance issues.

I don't understand the bad reviews.. I never experienced any bugs (on PC) and I loved this game the whole way through. The graphics are great and it reminded me a bit of the Myst series. I got stuck on some puzzles but they were by no means "impossible" and I enjoyed the challenge. Though I wish it were longer and more complex, if Raw Fury made another game similar to this I would buy it in a heartbeat

被IGN评为9.0的游戏还是有道理的,每当有bgm的时候都感觉到一种恢弘大气的感觉,有点像当初看哈利波特时候的感觉,当然男主不也叫哈里吗?(谐音梗扣钱) 第一次接触克苏鲁类的游戏,可能也算稍微地体会到是什么意思了,用我自己的感受来表达,就是神秘两个字。剧情环环相扣,并且跌宕起伏,引人入胜,唯一让我觉得比较糟心的点就是解密推理了,感觉难度真挺大的,好多我都需要寻找攻略……尤其是最后一章,非常需要耐心。以下涉及剧透:最后的两种结局,我毫无疑问先选择了回到哈里身旁,他对诺拉的爱都深刻凝聚在“My dear old pal."这句话了,也如诺拉所说,爱情是相互的,爱情的终点是坟墓,既然如此,为何不让他们团聚呢?但是,我个人更喜欢与之相对的另一个结局,既然知道了自己的身份,也知道了自己的归属,虽然也许能和哈里一起度过最后的快乐时光,但是最终留下的只有无尽的痛苦,与其如此,倒不如回归家乡,往日的时光就当是思念成疾时留作的慰藉罢,起码哈里知道,诺拉最后是健康的。(btw 在选择结局时记得存档)

There is a whole genre of lovecraftian games that just don't work - Sinking City, Call of Cthulu, Dark Corners of the Earth, the Shore. This one does work though, it has some genuine emotion, isn't about dumb jump scares and keeps you entertained with a touching love story and a few properly good puzzles. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone who likes Lovecraft.

i wish there was an option between 'yes' and 'no' because i feel like this game belongs there.. it's not bad, but i just can't "recommend" it ultimately.

the story is revealed through the main character basically talking to herself whenever you observe something, and the exposition felt a little forced and overdone. besides that, it's a well put-together little story, with some unique and fun tidbits. the voice acting was alright, but some lines felt a little forced. the writing was good at times and contrived at others.

The puzzles are all pretty simple, either variations on common puzzles, or increasingly complicated "match the shape" type puzzles, like the childs toy where you put blocks into holes matching their shape. there's no challenge to them once you gather all the clues, which basically spell out how to solve each. BUT the clues are essential, if you don't observe the correct items, some puzzles will be unsolvable until you backtrack and find the clues..

there's effectively no challenge or thought required for any of it, just an on-rails exploration & walking simulator where the narrator reads a story to you as you go. if you're into that sort of thing, it's worth playing, but if you're looking for an interesting puzzle game with a riveting story, you'll be slightly disappointed here. not very, but slightly.

Call of the Sea – самая что ни на есть классическая puzzle-adventure, где предстоит на своих двоих исследовать небольшой островок в Тихом океане. Именно там пропала экспедиция мужа главной героини игры, Норы, и она самоотверженно бросается на поиски, несмотря на собственную болезнь.

Сюжет:

За год до событий Call of the Sea Гарри отправился на остров, чтобы найти лекарство, которое вылечит его жену Нору от странного недуга – тёмных пятен на руках, из-за которых она вынуждена носить перчатки. Пара активно переписывалась, пока муж был в отъезде, но в какой-то момент он прекратил выходить на связь. Остров посреди океана, расположенный неподалёку от Таити, выглядит жутковато – он окружён рифами и защищён кольями, будто чужакам здесь не рады. Однако Нора не может бросить своего возлюбленного и отправляется в путешествие.

Об игре:

Создатели Call of the Sea вдохновлялись произведениями Говарда Лавкрафта (Howard Lovecraft), но это не значит, что у них получился очередной хоррор. Здесь скорее мистическое приключение – головоломки, отдалённо напоминающие о Myst, сочетаются с симпатичными локациями, в которых явно что-то скрывается от игрока и от главной героини. Муж Норы поплыл на остров на китобойном судне, членов экипажа которого знал английский моряк, согласившийся отвезти женщину к месту пропажи её супруга. Так что узнаем мы не только о судьбе Гарри, но и том, что могло случиться со всеми остальными.

История поначалу проста, и кажется, что всё ограничится прогулками по цветастым джунглям с параллельным решением головоломок. Но уже очень скоро атмосфера становится всё мрачнее – в каждой главе подробностей узнаёшь всё больше, фрагменты истории складываются в единое целое. Прохождение занимает лишь пять часов, так что разбрасываться спойлерами было бы глупо, но лавкрафтовщиной здешняя история отдаёт не раз и не два.

Голос Гарри тоже можно услышать, но лишь в нескольких записках с небольшими анимированными роликами.
Немного огорчает то, что разработчики предпочитают рассказывать, а не показывать. Внутри палатки, где члены экспедиции разбивали лагерь, найдёшь две или три записки. Рядом с палаткой будут ещё одна записка и какая-нибудь фотография с надписью сзади. Чуть дальше стоит ящик, на котором ещё две бумажки, да ещё и на стене что-то приклеено. С одной стороны, текста не так уж много и он довольно ёмко описывает случившееся с экипажем. С другой же стороны, даже тем, у кого нет аллергии на записки в играх, это может показаться перебором.

Другой недостаток повествования – привычка Норы комментировать каждый найденный предмет и каждую записку. Когда пытаешься вчитываться в текст, а параллельно тебе раз за разом говорят очевидные вещи, это быстро утомляет. Но стоит отдать должное актрисе Сисси Джонс (Cissy Jones) – она звучит здесь так же прекрасно, как в роли Делайлы в Firewatch. Ей блестяще удалось передать чувства, которые испытывает женщина, прибывшая чёрт-те куда ради любимого мужа и с интересом изучающая каждую улику. Ближе к финалу будут моменты, в которых она особенно восхитительно отыгрывает роль, но это опять же спойлеры.

Геймплейно же Call of the Sea представляет собой головоломку, в которой нужно часто ходить из угла в угол (к счастью, Нора умеет быстро бегать). Загадки здесь то выполняются прямо на месте, то состоят из нескольких этапов, и в подавляющем большинстве случаев решаешь их не без удовольствия. Хотя в паре моментов разработчики всё же перемудрили – без «гайдов» может быть трудно. Конечно, когда начинаешь задумываться о том, почему механизмы на острове работают таким образом и почему решения спрятаны там, где они спрятаны, магия немного рушится, но это игровые условности, справедливые для любой головоломки.

Почерк не всегда разборчив, но перевод поможет прочесть написанное.
Поскольку некоторые пазлы решаются с помощью подсказок, найденных на противоположном конце той или иной локации, разработчики решили немного упростить задачу и добавили в игру дневник. Главная героиня записывает и зарисовывает туда всё, что может быть связано с головоломками, даже если она их ещё не видела. Поэтому, если нужно повторить последовательность, поставить объекты в определённые позиции или просто что-то запомнить, держать под рукой листочек с карандашом нет необходимости.

Всего здесь шесть глав (если не считать финальную, где загадок уже нет), и все они достаточно разнообразны, чтобы не только сюжет удерживал у экрана, но и геймплей не надоедал. Есть недочёты, вроде слишком медленного карабканья по лестницам и белого «прицела», который сливается с белыми предметами при взаимодействии с ними, но прохождению это не сильно мешает.

Вывод:
Call of the Sea – это очень классная пазл-адвенчура на один вечер, которая затянет и не отпустит, пока не доберётесь до финального судьбоносного выбора. И какой бы вы ни сделали, игра в любом случае оставит после себя крайне приятные впечатления. Да, порой заставит поломать голову или даже обратиться к гайдам – зато после можно будет наслаждаться развязкой этой вправду удивительной истории.

Оценка: 8.5

Sadly I cannot recommend the game in its current state.
If I were able to look past the bugs then I would easily recommend it for it's a cute and pretty game.

Alas, the game has gamebreaking bugs for me where items become 'un-interactable'.
Unfortunately, these only started to show up later for me so I can't even refund.

Strong warning: steer clear until you see some explicit patch notes and confirmations of people that these have been sorted out.

(I'm going to be mean here; but really....the game isn't very technical at all...how on earth do these bugs fly on the radar....)

The basic premise of the game is something that we have seen numerous times before; you're alone(?) on an exotic island trying to uncover some mystery.
The execution is very good though, and the game is more polished than I had expected. The story unfolds nicely and the visuals are beautiful.

The most important aspect of a point-and-click adventure is of course the puzzles, and the devs did a great job with those. The solution is rarely super obvious, but it's always logical and never frustrating. The diary with notes is helpful, and all interactive objects are highlighted when you approach them, so I never missed something due to "pixel hunting".

If there's one thing that bothered me about the game, it's the slow movement speed, both when "running" (walking at a brisk pace) and climbing ladders. Maybe it was a stylistic choice by the devs, to let us take in the environment, but when you're backtracking or just trying to get somewhere specific, it gets annoying.
If you're being nitpicky, it makes no sense that people who visited the island were conversing with each other through paper notes (which is how most of the exposition is delivered), when they could speak to each other in person, but it didn't really bother me.

I beat the game in under 6 hours, which may seem short to some, but I'm glad it didn't overstay it's welcome. It doesn't have many shortcomings, but it doesn't do anything exceptional either. It's just an enjoyable game to play over a weekend.

A very well made game with a very beautiful and rich story. Many games can be fun, but when you weave a sweet and heartwarming tale throughout that fun game, it becomes something much better than your ordinary game. For example, Silent Hill 2 (my personal favorite game of all time) is not just a time wasting fun experience, it is a game that moves you as a person. Obviously not on the same level as the great Silent Hill 2, but Call Of The Sea shares that same idea to have a deeper meaning behind the game. Great game with an amazing soundtrack that enhances the feeling this game gives you.

Нетипичная игра на тематику Лавкрафтовщины, где на первый план выходит история о сильной любви и выборе между любовью и смертью.
Очень красивая, красочная игра, с неторопливым сюжетом, потрясающей музыкой и неожиданным поворотом в конце.
Головоломки интересные, пусть и не сложные. Персонажи раскрыты в полной мере и к концу игры за них действительно переживаешь.
Минус один: фпс. В остальном всё отлично.
Советую :)

Almost every element of this game's design feels like it was implemented just to slow your progress through it. I really wanted to enjoy the pretty graphics and interesting setting, but at every turn I found my progress blocked by frustrating puzzles that required way too much pacing around, backtracking, and climbing (slowly) up and down ladders. Every area is littered with far too many little objects that you are expected to pick up and analyze for hints on how to progress, and while the puzzles themselves aren't exactly difficult, sometimes just figuring out the order in which you are supposed to solve them is far too time consuming. If the experience were more focused and directed, then I probably would have had more patience for the constant puzzle solving, but instead I found myself missing obvious clues due to feeling impatient and just wanting to move on to the next part of the story. At the end of the day, I think the problem is that this game doesn't respect your time. If you are ok with that, then you might actually enjoy it, but personally, I would have enjoyed it more as a walking sim than I did as a puzzle game.

Oyunda kocası, Tahiti(it's a magical place) yakınlarında bir adaya giden ve geri dönmeyen bir kadını oynuyoruz. Kocasının bu adaya gelme nedeni ise, karısının yani oynadığımız nadir bir hastalığa sahip olması ve buna çözüm aramak için bu adaya gelmesi ama işlerin beklediği gibi gitmemiş olması.

Oyunda bölge bölge ilerleyerek bulmacaları çözüyoruz ve kayıp olan ekibe dair izleri bulurken karakterimizin hastalığı hakkında ilginç bilgiler de ediniyoruz. Hikayesi ve görselliği güzel bir bulmaca oyunu diyebilirim. Oyun benim için 4-5 saat sürdü kişiye göre daha uzun veya daha kısa olabilir. Bir başyapıt diyemem ama kesinlikle güzel bir bulmaca oyunuydu.

Artılar
+ Görsellik ve atmosfer harika.
+ Bölge boyutları çok güzel ayarlanmış. Oyun ne ufacık bir odaya hapsediyor ne de "al bütün adayı gez bul" diyerek işimizi zorlaştırıyor.
+ Seslendirme ekibi güzel, hikaye sunumunu pekiştiriyor.
+ Bulmacalar genel itibariyle güzel, kötülere aşağıda değindm.
+ Hikayesi ilgi çekici ve finalde 2 ayrı son var, seçtiğiniz sona bağlı olarak çok duygusal bir final görebiliyorsunuz.

Eksiler
- Klasik yavaş yürüme hızı. Karakter yavaş yavaş giderek oyunu uzatıyor resmen
- Optimizasyon kötü bu da klasik
- Bazı kötü bulmaca tasarımları. Oyunda birkaç yerde takıldım ve bu bulmacaların çok kötü tasarlandığını düşünüyorum. Yıllardır bulmaca oyunu oynarım ve benim düşüncem şudur: Bir bulmacanın cevabını öğrendiğinizde bile mantıklı gelmiyorsa o bulmaca kötü tasarlanmıştır. Bu oyunda da bu türe uyan birkaç bulmaca var

Je recommande chaudement ce jeu qui raconte une véritable histoire. Les graphismes sont superbes, la jouabilité sans faille et je n'ai rencontré aucun bug.
Les énigmes ne sont pas "tordues" et le jeu permet de consulter l'inventaire et les indices à tout moment par la touche TAB. Il est donc inutile de prendre des notes.
Bravo aux devs !

This game is simply stunning! From the art style to the story I loved every moment of this game. It had the right balance of adventure of problem solving, and the twist at the end of the story was very interesting.

Pros:
* Casual single-player filled with puzzles ranging from different difficulties to keep things interesting.
* Puzzles stayed on point with the theme of the game to make it more immersive.
* Easy to pick up after long time away from it. The character makes notes so you don't forget key things, as well as writes out the story as you go.
* Game has auto-save and save at any time. This does come in handy a lot!

♥♥♥♥:
* The game is not well optimized for computers, in my opinion. I have a 1660Ti Nivida graphics card, and the GPU was maxed out throughout the whole play-though. This could just be my processor too. Even changing the graphics down to Medium did not help too much either.
* The game every now and then would run into a bug. Typically something to do with interacting with the environment. One area I picked up an item to inspect and I could not put it down. I accidentally broke into an area of the game I wasn't suppose to be in yet. And certain stone doors were suppose to open, but did not.
THIS IS WHY SAVING IS YOUR FRIEND! Save, leave to menu, and Continue again usually fixed any problems I had!

I don't typically play puzzle games, but this game managed to keep me interested from start to finish. The game's Lovecraftian vibes, and engaging storyline kept me playing. The twist at the end was especially memorable, Harry is a real sweetheart.

the game had really good visuals and the accompanying music, both of which played a significant role in making me want to see more. The attention to detail in the art and the atmospheric soundtrack added depth to the overall experience.

But, there was a minor issue I encountered, the saving and loading. rarely, it reset puzzles for me. still it didn't happen a lot so i wasn't that much bothered.

Call of the sea могла бы быть неплохой нарративной игрой в духе Firewatch, если бы не отвратительные и порой совершенно нелогичные загадки, которые сбивают темп повествования. В большинстве случаев решить их без гайда крайне сложно, и совершенно не ясно, чего хотят от игрока разработчики.

During the time this had come out, I was playing such slop that this was a good breath of fresh air, I will admit I had to look up a guide for one of the puzzles cause I got way too stumped, I think this is a good thing considering older point and click games can be very brutal, however this was a very good 3d puzzle adventure, so thank you Out of the Blue Games, keep it up.

Хорошая игра на пару вечеров с приятным музыкальным сопровождением и рисовкой. Иногда решения головоломок очевидны, иногда нужно действительно подумать и быть внимательным.
Однако, оценка будет отрицательная по одной простой причине - присутствует достижение, для получения которого требуется купить несколько или все игры издателя этой игры.
На момент написания обзора у меня не куплены другие игры от этого издателя и меня, как перфекциониста, сильно огорчает такой подход к вопросу (33 из 34 достижений ужасно мозолит глаза).

I still think about this game! It's a very enjoyable puzzler, with a story that I loved discovering. The artstyle and ambiance was familiar and very pleasurable to explore. No area outstayed its welcome nor story thread went on too long. Took me 11 hours at a leisurely pace, and in a couple years when I forget what happened, I will absolutely play it again!

Length: 4.1 hours.
Enjoyment: 6/10.
Story: Frogs.
Characters: Alright.
Graphics: Great.
Gameplay: Puzzle walking simulator.
Audio: Alright with some music.
Bugs:
- Voice lines would noticeably cut-off at the end of sentences sometimes.
- Voice lines weren't properly thought through with gameplay. They'd cancel midsentence and start a new one if you move a little too much. If your character is talking stay still so you don't miss a voiceline..
ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᵐʸ ᶠᶦʳˢᵗ ᵖˡᵃʸᵗʰʳᵒᵘᵍʰ

Call of the Sea is a walking simulator with puzzles. The story is somewhat weird but the gameplay was fluid. I haven't encountered any problems performance-wise except for some frame drops when entering a few new areas. The 'puzzles' (you have to find clues that your character then writes into a book which basically explain how to solve the puzzle albeit not exactly straightforward, so if you don't find all the clues you'll have to explore again) were okay for the most part, some were better than others, but they made me think, explore and pay attention which was relatively enjoyable. The voice actress (only coherent voice throughout the game) had some dull voicelines here and there but for the most part she was pleasant to listen to. The graphics were impressive at times and overall looked visually pleasing.

TLDR;
A fine puzzle walking simulator.

Overview:
Call of the Sea is an atmospheric story/puzzle game set in the 1930's with a clear Lovecraftian theme and plot. The gameplay loop consists primarily of exploring new areas for notes, objects, pictures, and other clues, and using those to discover the story and solve puzzles that block advancement. There is no real action to speak of and the spooky/creepy/uneasy level is low, but there. So how does Call of the Sea fare in what it sets out to do? It fares quite well!

Pros:
+Gorgeous visuals
+Immersive notes, objects, environments
+Solid voice acting
+Puzzles that require some thinking!
+Good Lovecraftian story
+Somewhat sp00by

♥♥♥♥:
-Controls could be a bit tighter
-Story isn't mind-blowing
-That one puzzle...
-Not that sp00by

Pro/♥♥♥♥ Recap:
Call of the Sea really nails the atmosphere and visuals. I went in thinking this was a horror-lite game but it's not at all. The game feeds you some uneasiness but it's far from truly scary. The voice actress does a great job and the supporting cast does too. The puzzles really make you think and some of them left me scratching my head for a minute until an "aha" moment. The story is a good intro into Lovecraftian tales but it's not mind-blowing or groundbreaking. Still, it's solid and I enjoyed it. My biggest complaint with the game lies with the controls. They feel a touch off. The camera is a bit sluggish. Your character moves a bit sluggish. I appreciate it's more of a cinematic game, but movement felt "over-smoothed" and not crisp. It's not a gamebreaker by any means but it is slightly annoying.

That ONE puzzle:
Towards the end of Chapter 3, there is an infuriatingly difficult/misleading/poorly explained puzzle. Everything leading up to the puzzle is fantastic! And even the first couple attempts to solve it are great. But then, nothing seems to work. It took me 30 minutes to get nowhere. My advice is to try the puzzle a couple times and then use my hint if you're not getting anywhere. If the hint doesn't help, just lookup a guide. It's not worth the frustration. I'll leave my hint here: You'll find a clue with 2 rows of symbols. The top row has an arrow pointing to the bottom row. This is misleading! It should be the bottom row pointing towards the top. The bottom symbols are the new placeholders for the top symbols

Tl;dr:
If you want a game focused on discovering a story and solving puzzles, you'll be happy. Don't expect to be scared, don't expect any action, and don't expect a groundbreaking story and you won't be disappointed. I enjoyed the game and will recommend it to others!

Movement is way too slow in this game, most time is spent going from points a to points b instead of solving puzzle. so if you miss a clue you have to painfully go back to find it and go back to the place to solve the puzzle

Un "Call Of" pas comme les autres !
Call of the Sea est un petit bijou découvert il y a quelques temps sur le Game Pass, que j'achète volontiers sur Steam pour qu'il figure dans ma bibliothèque. A ne pas confondre avec un célèbre titre FPS, ce "Call Of" est en réalité un superbe jeu d'aventure réflexion qui reprend le mythe de l'Appel de Cthulhu sans pour autant tomber dans des délires tentaculaires.
Call of the Sea 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : Redd

Vous incarnez Nora, une épouse déterminée à retrouver son archéologue de mari. Après un étrange cauchemar durant le voyage en bateau, vous voilà débarquée sur une île luxuriante pour essayer de comprendre ce qu'il est advenu de l'expédition et de votre chère moitié.

Les puzzles ont une difficulté bien dosée. Les plus chevronnés des aventuriers le trouveront néanmoins sans doute un peu trop facile, à l'exception de quelques énigmes (l'orgue m'a fait réfléchir pas mal de temps). Le journal condense toutes les informations et indices que vous récolterez. A vous de le consulter et d'en comprendre la substance, car le jeu ne vous tiendra pas par la main.
le journal vous sera très utile

Visuellement, le style est plutôt original et accrocheur. A nouveau, cela change des décors glauques et sombres. Ici les oiseaux chantent, la nature est belle, et les mystères sont de mise.

Si le jeu reste très linéaire, il vous permettra de choisir entre plusieurs fins qui scelleront le destin de l'héroïne. Au final, j'ai consommé ce jeu comme un délicieux bonbon acidulé.

Gra eksploracyjno-przygodowa dość mocno koncentrująca się na fabule.

Główna bohaterka, Norah, cierpi na zagadkową chorobę. W obliczu bezsilności środowiska medycznego jej małżonek, Harry, wyruszył na wyprawę, której celem było odnalezienie lekarstwa na jej przypadłość. Po jakimś czasie jednak słuch o nim zaginął, aż do czasu, gdy Norah otrzymała enigmatyczną paczkę. Trop prowadzi na niezamieszkałą wyspę w pobliżu Haiti. Udajemy się więc tam, by odnaleźć ukochanego oraz prawdę o sobie samej.

I cała ta fabuła polegająca na odkrywaniu tajemnic wyspy oraz podążaniu tropem wspomnianej wcześniej wyprawy potrafi zainteresować. Nie są to może scenariuszowe wyżyny, historia nie grzeszy oryginalnością, ale do samego końca nie wiało nudą. Jeśli miałbym się do czegoś przyczepić, to za często jest ona opowiadana za pomocą przeróżnych zapisków, zdjęć bądź nagrań, a za rzadko przez to, co aktualnie dzieje się na naszych oczach.

Gra składa się z sześciu rozdziałów, a każdy z nich to kilka zagadek środowiskowych sprawdzających naszą spostrzegawczość i umiejętność wyciągania logicznych wniosków. Brak tu zadań skrajnie przekombinowanych lub wymagających abstrakcyjnego myślenia. Ale mimo wszystko nie jest łatwo i czasem trzeba zastanowić się nad prawidłowym rozwiązaniem. Lokacje są jednak zawsze dość niewielkie, a ilość obiektów, z jakimi jesteśmy w stanie wejść w interakcję, nie przytłacza, więc po chwili główkowania jest się w stanie połączyć kropki. W każdym razie zagadki nie frustrują, a ich przechodzenie jest całkiem satysfakcjonujące (choć raz musiałem wspomóc się poradnikiem).

Bardzo pozytywne wrażenie robi styl oprawy graficznej. Żywa kolorystyka i naprawdę dobre oświetlenie sprawiają, że niejednokrotnie gracz rozgląda się dookoła tylko po to, by podziwiać otoczenie.

Drażni mnie, gdy w grze pierwszoosobowej nasza postać to ewidentnie tylko ręce zawieszone w przestrzeni. Nie rzucamy cienia, odbić, a po spojrzeniu w dół okaże się, że nasze nogi gdzieś wcięło. Choć jest to mała wada.

Tak samo denerwuje mnie, że jest to kolejna gra wpisująca się w trend wybierania na samym końcu naszego zakończenia (jednego z dwóch), mimo że cała historia jest liniowa i pozbawiona wyborów. Ten idiotyczny zabieg kompletnie zabija we mnie poczucie, że ukończyłem grę ze spójną fabułą.

Technicznie jest nieźle, ale nie idealnie. Przez większość czasu gra działała płynnie, ale w pewnych konkretnych miejscach klatkaż spadał do kilkunastu. Raz też musiałem ponownie wczytać grę, bo postać utknęła w kamieniu i nie byłem w stanie się ruszyć.

Tak czy owak, grało się całkiem miło. Historia nie nudzi, zagadki są satysfakcjonujące, a całość dopełnia miła dla oka szata graficzna. Warto dać jej szansę i poczuć zew morza.

7/10

Tech-wise game is absolute ♥♥♥♥. No RTX for windows but yes for Xbox, can only go up to whatever your main display's max res is, no in-depth graphic settings, no "Screen" setting to actually choose which screen you're going to play on, resolution will absolutely ♥♥♥♥ itself if you don't set application controlled high dpi setting, and even though i was online while finishing this game no achievements counted (Maybe this is on Steam, but literally just having this problem on this game.)

Other than these, game is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Puzzles aren't too hard, and easy ones make up to very hard ones anyways. Story is beautiful, island is beautiful, everything about this game is beautiful. Might be the best looking walking simulator and chillest/friendliest Lovecraftian game. Loved the fresh look on the mythos.

Music is absolute banger too. Was an amazing experience to live through, just wish it was a bit longer/had a bit more detailed lore with more hints towards Lovecraft's works. Amazing nevertheless, don't even think twice if you like some good puzzles, amazing scenery, great music and this mythos.

I'm not really a huge fan of puzzle games, but the art and graphics grabbed my attention enough for me to give it a go. If you enjoy puzzle games, I would definitely recommend Call of the Sea. The puzzles are reasonably straightforward- everything important is automatically written down for you as you explore the area. Each puzzle stays in its own zone, however a few of them felt tedious even after figuring out the solution. If you visit something out of order, which I regularly did, it ends up being a lot of very slow walking/ladder climbing. Like I mentioned before, I’m not a puzzle game enthusiast so my patience for these things is very short… I won’t fault the game for this. I enjoyed exploring the environment and listening to the great soundtrack. If this was just a walking sim/story game, I would be perfectly happy with it. The game is beautiful, although some textures are a bit stretched/low-res. The story was interesting and kept me engaged the whole time. The voice acting was good, although sometimes it felt a bit over-narrated. Nora always has something to say about each little insignificant thing.

Overall, I did enjoy unraveling the story of this game while taking in the beautiful environments and music. It is pretty short and doesn’t have much replay value- absolutely worth it on sale.

Oyunu çok sevdim. Bulmaca kısımları bazen zorladı, internetten bakmadım diyemem. Manzaralar, seslendirmeler, hikaye, lore mükemmel. Norah adlı baş karakterimizle bir adada yaklaşık 8 saatte biten bir maceraya atılıyoruz. Bulmacalar çözüp, adanın gizemini açığa çıkarmaya ve kendi kimliğimizi bulmaya çalışıyoruz. Çok güzel kurgulanmış bir senaryo.
9/10.

Visually stunning. If you want a mentally stimulating game with an interesting story and no mechanical skill required, this is the one. recommend a slightly higher brightness than the default, but not too high or it'll lose some of it's quality.

Cthulhus Cookies sind die besten!?

Ein neu gebackener Indie-Entwickler "Out of the Blue" kommt namenstreu mit seinem Erstlingswerk daher, um Freunde der Walking Simulators und Rätselbegeisterte gleichermaßen mit denen abzufrühstücken, die sich mit Leib und Seele dem Cthulhu-Mythos verschworen haben und liefert mit "Call of the Sea" ein solides kurzweiliges Spiel ab, bei dem ... nun ja... jeder selbst für sich entscheiden sollte, ob er/sie es braucht oder nicht.

Im Spiel verkörpern wir die hübsche Norah aus der Ego-Perspektive und versuchen unseren verschollenen Expeditionsleiter und Ehemann Harry wieder zu finden, der doch sonst immer so fleißig Briefe an Norah geschrieben hat, welche aber eines Tages einfach ausblieben. Das Spiel findet in den 30er Jahren und abgesehen vom Intro auch hauptsächlich auf der karibischen Insel statt, die es zu erkunden und zu ergründen gilt. Denn Norah begleiten sowohl spezifische Flecken auf der Haut als auch hat sie hin und wieder kleinere Visionen.

Gleich zu Beginn wird klar: Call of the Sea verlangt primär zweierlei von euch: Rätselfreude und Erkundungsdrang. Gekämpft oder geflohen wird nie. Gruselig wird es auch zu keiner Zeit. Das Spiel versteht sich in seinen rund 5h Spiellänge als Abenteuerspiel mit alternativer Perspektive auf den Cthulhu-Mythos. Die Grafik ist zweckmäßig, hat einen leichten Cartoon-Touch und sieht zeitweise echt wunderschön aus. Leider verliert sich die charmante Umgebung aus den ersten Spielstunden im Dschungel langsam in zerklüftete Gebiete und mündet in irgendwelche Höhlen. Das muss zwar logischerweise irgendwie passieren, raubt mir als optischer Typ dann doch irgendwann leicht den Spielreiz.

Toll finde ich, dass immer wieder ingame von Norah kommentiert und wichtige Informationen übersichtlich ins Notizbuch übertragen werden. Einmal Tab-Taste drücken und schon hat man sich manuelle Notizen auf dem Smartphone oder oldschool auf einem Papierzettel erspart. Auch die Rätsel sind nicht anspruchslos und können gerade beim Sprach-Zeichen-Riddle ganz schön die Köpfe zum Rauchen bringen. In der Regel lassen sie sich aber gut lösen. Einige hingegen sind ein wenig nervig, da sie in Sachen Rumprobieren dann doch zu viel Latscherei in Anspruch nehmen - aber wozu gibt's denn bebilderte Walkthroughs? ;)

Ein Inventar und dort notwendige Kombinatorik gibt's nicht. Ihr interagiert an vorgesehenen Stellen und habt meist alles, was ihr braucht. Das hab ich schon interaktiver und besser in "Penumbra", "Amnesia" bzw. "Coma" gesehen.
Auch, dass man in der Detailansicht mit Objekten nicht nochmal an Secret Spots interagieren kann, fehlt hier.
Mehr Diversität im Rätseldesign hätte dem Spiel nicht geschadet - aufsammelbare Items, notwendige Kombinatorik dieser untereinander oder mit der Umgebung, Physics-Spielereien, Gespräche mit NPCs, Schleichen, Flüchten... alles Dinge, die ich schon in perfekter Abstimmung motivierender woanders gesehen hab.

Bottom Line:
Wenn das Meer ruft - was wirst du antworten? Die Rätselfaulen werden bestimmt schnell seekrank werden. Die Gruselfreunde schlafen ernüchtert ein. Doch der graue-Zellen-angetriebene Adventure-Freund stürzt sich gern ins recht kurze Abenteuer, dem zunehmends ein wenig die Puste ausgeht. Sowohl vom malerischen Setting her als auch von der Art und Weise wie das Adventure mit seinem Spannungsbogen umgeht als auch wie es (auf zwei möglichen Weisen) endet. Gerade die fehlende Adventure-Mechanik-Tiefe lässt zu wünschen übrig. Kann man spielen, muss man aber nicht.

Что если бы Дисней стал фанатом Лавкрафта, но в то же время оставался заложником образа добрых сказок в творчестве своей студии? Получилось бы Call of The Sea.

Тут я конечно преувеличил немного, но иногда игра вызывает именно такие ощущения. За основу для сюжета взято довольно популярное произведение Лавкрафта, которое в мире видеоигр не раз обыгрывалось, и казалось бы уже приелось всем, но этой игре всё равно удалось удивить. Разработчики отнеслись с любовью к творчеству Лавкрафта, но провели очень необычную деконструкцию истории, которой свойственно разыгрывается не на страницах произведений автора, а в головах читателей. И обычно эти истории вызывают космический ужас, но, как вы поняли, не в этой игре. Всё перевернулось вверх дном!

Игру можно воспринимать и отдельно от Лавкрафта - тогда это будет просто интересное приключение про исследование таинственного острова и поиск своей судьбы. Говорить о сюжете и концепциях игры подробнее - было бы спойлером. Поэтому все сюрпризы и интриги оставлю вам для собственного изучения.

Конкретно про геймплей. Это симулятор ходьбы со множеством занятных головоломок и красивыми пейзажами. При этом графика и стиль просты и не блещат особой детализацией, но пространство и интерьеры не кажутся пустыми совсем. В своём жанре - это очень хороший представитель.

Могу выделить только два минуса.

Первый: многое игра делает за игрока, собирает все подсказки для очередной головоломки в журнал. Иногда это помогает, но чаще хотелось додуматься самому, например, что "вот это" нужно для головоломки и самому всё совместить в голове. Поэтому периодически ловил чувство, что меня держат за дурака.

Второй: та же графика. Да виды красивые. Всё очень мило и здорово, как в тех же мультфильмах от Дисней. Но иногда до того кислотные цвета, что щуриться начинаешь, раздражало.

К игре можно купить саундтрек и артбук. В целом музыка в игре волшебная, в точности как в сказках Диснея или в приключениях Индианы Джонса. Поэтому и саундтрек приятно просто слушать и вне игры. Артбук хороший. Из-за минималистичной графики, не сказал бы что артбук привнёс что-то кардинально новое для меня, но вот комментарии разработчиков было интересно почитать.

Если вам хочется прикоснуться к историям Лавкарфта, но при этом не трепетать от страха. Если хочется больше Лавкрафта, а во всё остальное вы уже переиграли. Если хочется посмотреть как можно деконструировать его истории. Или если вам просто хочется неторопливо изучать таинственный остров, любоваться видами и решать головоломки. То не пожалеете потратив пару-тройку вечеров на эту игру.

I think I would love this game if I could play it. The mouse motion makes me sick, but most of all I'm frustrated that I'm stuck at the totem for the bridge - it doesn't work. Most of the time when I click on objects or try to solve a puzzle nothing happens. I've tried all the recommended setting to resolve the problems and nothing works. I'm giving up. I'm on a PC with windows 10.

First of all, I am not that big on Lovecraft and those motives that are being (so often) used in a lot of games in the past decade. Call of the Sea is one of those titles, and while I really enjoyed the adventure it gave me, for me personally it was a bit too much storywise. Others (who enjoy that kind of stuff), will probably get a kick out of it for the fact that there are a lot of references to his work.

But still, Call of the Sea is not a horror game, but heavily relies on the adventure part, and the lighthearted main protagonist Norah. She is on an adventure that will change her life, searching for her missing husband, who is actually trying to find a cure for her unknown disease. What comes next is a really thoughtfully crafted story, that works really well with the combination of Norah's monologues, environmental storytelling and the puzzles that are core of the game.

I may expected that the game will be a bit "richer" walking simulator, but this is a fully 3D first person adventure title. Norah will uncover the secrets of the island (and herself), and while the game is not that difficult, every situation rewards you with that a-ha moment and the satisfaction of a job well done. Narrative is also driven forward with personal stories of the crew that came to the island with her husband months before.

Visually beautiful, with some really good voice acting, Call of the Sea is a title for everybody that have that adventure itch to be scratched, Other than the final puzzle of the fourth chapter (that I still cant explain how i managed to solve), slowness of Norah even when running, or some over the top story elements - I really can't find any reason to not recommend the game.

For me, it was a drive from start to finish that I enjoyed for the vast majority of the time invested. If I would have to give it a number, lets say that it would be an 8 out of 10 and maybe even a bit more.

Call of the Sea é um adventure totalmente voltado para história, em que você encarna Norah após ela receber um pacote estranho de uma ilha mais estranha ainda. Norah tem uma doença crônica e seu marido partiu tempos atrás para lhe achar uma cura, mas sumiu sem deixar vestígios. Cansada de esperar e motivada pelo estranho pacote recebido pelos correios, você se aventura para saber o que aconteceu afinal com seu marido.

Mecanicamente este jogo é de exploração e resolução de quebra-cabeças. A medida que você explora, você descobre pontos específicos de narrativa e dicas para solucionar os enigmas que o jogo lhe impõe. O fluxo base do jogo é esse, explorar e avançar solucionando o que lhe vier.

O jogo faz um bom trabalho em diversificar os tipos diferentes de quebra-cabeças disponíveis, sendo que sempre há um ar de novidade quando são apresentados: sejam pelos cenários belíssimos, seja pelo gancho narrativo, seja pela proposta daquele quebra-cabeça em específico.

Quanto a duração, o jogo é relativamente curto, mas pelas análises eu vi várias pessoas que conseguiram durar umas 10 horas de jogo. Pessoalmente não concordo com alguns apontamentos da dificuldade ou arbitrariedade de alguns quebra-cabeças... pra mim pareceu só que alguns não eram simples PARA MIM, em específico - exigindo um pouco mais de esforço e tentativas.

Num geral o jogo é agradável, tem uma história com mistérios em um universo lovecraftiano, o que pode fazer a história ser um pouco previsível se você já conhece a obra de H.P. Lovecraft. Mas longe disso trazer qualquer desagrado quanto ao enredo e passo adotados, tanto que achei incrivelmente divertido e instigante.

Dado isso, enfatizo que é um jogo narrativo e de quebra-cabeças - sendo recomendado para quem gosta desses dois juntos.

Call of the Synchronisation Verticale.

J'avais entendu beaucoup de bien de Call of the Sea et j'avais hâte de le découvrir. Bien que le début fut très difficile suite à un gros problème lié à la V-Sync, j'ai globalement passé un bon moment sur le jeu.


Comme je viens de le dire, je n'ai malheureusement pas pu apprécier convenablement la première parie de Call of the Sea puisque mon PC monté dans des températures hallucinantes par rapport à ce que le jeu était censé demander. Plus de 70° en ultra, plus de 60° en faible. Le pire n'étant pas les températures, mais le crissement que faisait la CG. Heureusement, n'étant pas le seul à avoir eu ce problème, j'ai pu trouver la solution sur une discussion Steam. Il suffisait d'activer la Synchronisation Verticale. De toute ma vie, je n'ai jamais eu un tel problème à cause d'une simple V-Sync. Bref, cela a fait chuter les températures à 35° en ultra, ce qui est bien plus raisonnable.

Malgré ce gros souci qui m'a accompagné durant la première moitié du jeu, j'ai trouvé le jeu plutôt sympathique. Je trouve néanmoins les déplacements vraiment trop lents. Enfin, que Norah parle beaucoup pour faire vivre la narration, je le comprends et ça me va. Mais qu'elle parle systématiquement après l'ouverture d'une note ou d'une lettre, nous coupant dans notre lecture à peine entamée, je trouve ça chiant. Ils auraient dû la faire parler une fois l'objet reposé.

Les énigmes ne sont pas simples. Deux d'entre elles m'ont réellement posé problème, mais c'est surtout l'accordage de l'orgue qui m'a bloqué. J'ai dû m'aider d'une soluce tellement je ne comprenais pas la logique de leur système d'accordage.

L'intrigue est intéressante, en tout cas, le thème m'a beaucoup plu, en revanche, je regrette qu'il y ait si peu d'explications. Malheureusement, il est difficile d'en dire plus sans spoiler.

L'OST est vraiment très bonne et m'a fait penser par moment à Shape of Water. Ou peut-être que je suis tout simplement biaisé par le thème du jeu. Quoi qu'il en soit, je l'ai déjà réécouté plusieurs fois. Néanmoins, lorsque aucune musique n'est présente, les sont d'ambiance sont plutôt tristes.

Pour finir, je pensais que créer une nouvelle partie n'effacerait que le premier des quatre slot de sauvegarde disponible, malheureusement cela les efface tous. Enfin, pas de prise en charge de l'AZERTY, ce qui est quand même le minimum.


Malgré un début difficile sur les quatre premières heures de jeu, j'ai finalement pris du plaisir une fois le problème résolu et toute mon attention retenue par le jeu. Le jeu est joli et coloré. Les énigmes ne sont pas faciles, mais elles ne sont pas pour autant tirées par les cheveux. Enfin, l'intrigue est convenable, mais laisse beaucoup de questions sans réponse. Si vous vous lancez dans Call of the Sea, je ne peux que vous conseiller d'activer la synchronisation Verticale. Si les énigmes travaillées ne vous font pas peur, vous devriez passer un bon moment !

Si l'avis vous a plu, vous pouvez en trouver d'autres ici.

Call of The Sea is a nice, narrative rich, puzzle game, in a pleasant environment, that does not overstay it's welcome. I found most of the puzzle to be just challenging enough, but not too hard.

It's mostly walking around, collecting notes and pasting them in your journal, looking at artifacts or murals and drawing them in the journal (which works really well to keep track of puzzle elements). Walking pace is little slow, even when "sprinting", especial in the puzzles that require some backtracking. The "hotspots" of some of the murals and other notables can require some fiddling to find.

The art style was pleasant and constant quality. Well voiced narration and immersive sound effects.

Overall well worth playing.

Call of the Sea is an outlandishly pretty adventure. It captures the classic tropes of pulp adventure in exotic locales without falling into the trap of racist depictions of indigenous people so common to the genre. And it tells a pretty wild story, if a bit overnarrated.

The puzzles, though, leave something to be desired. They can get pretty obtuse, and that makes a nasty combination with the large expanses the game sometimes expects you to trudge back and forth across. You'll be doing a lot of trial-and-error trying to figure out what individual puzzle elements do, and the time running between them adds up. There's also a fair amount of puzzles that challenge your spatial relationships or require setting a bunch of toggles correctly -- the kinds of things that will be easy for some and an utter roadblock for others. At least the protagonist, Norah, is extremely thorough in taking notes and making diagrams of all the visual elements you'll need.

Overall, if it's puzzle quality that draws you to point-and-click adventures, take or leave Call of the Sea. But it's a neat enough story and a screenshotter's dream with all its beautiful scenes.

It’s a shame this game isn’t getting more attention because it’s one of the best adventure games I’ve played in a while. It’s like Myst, but without all the frustration and a much more engaging narrative.

Don’t miss out on it!

It had been a long time since I had found a story that I liked and enjoyed as much as Call of the Sea. I know that it is a game that has been given a lot of pampering and love.
Both the puzzles and the atmosphere are incredible.
A very recommended game.

Un excellent jeu d'aventure/puzzle dans l'univers de lovecraft, même si le jeu ne le dévoile que par petites touches assez subtiles qui seront pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas les romans/nouvelles de l'auteur souvent transparentes. la mention "université de miskatonic" inscrit sur une porte de bureau, un arbre généalogique avec des membres de la famille Marsh dont Obed lui même, la mention de la ville d'Arkham. dans une lettre..

Le jeu se joue à la première personne dans de beaux graphismes et tourne sous l'unity engine. La musique par contre est très (trop) souvent absente mais de qualité quand elle est présente.

Les énigmes ne sont pas très compliquées pour la plupart, il suffit souvent d'un bon sens de l'observation, sachant qu'un carnet récapitule les différents indices trouvés en plus d'une partie journal intime qui permet à l'héroïne de raconter son histoire. Comme souvent dans ce genre de jeu, on ne rencontre personne, la narration se faisant par l'intermédiaire de documents trouvés de ci de là et de narration environnementale même si l'héroïne réagit très souvent à la vue des décors.

Toutes les voix sont d'excellentes qualité, mention spéciale à la doubleuse de la protagoniste qui n'est autre que celle de firewatch.

Le jeu se fini en 7 heures environ et possède deux fins diamétralement opposées. Un jeu à recommander à tous les amateurs du genre

A little heads up: If I could rate this game neutral, I would do so. If you want to skip all the details you can scroll to the end and read about why it's only neutral. And for what kind of people I would recommend this game.

First of all, I want to take a second to adress all of the "I didn't went into this game knowing it's H.P. Lovecraft inspired" reviews. In case the name of the game wasn't a big hint already, the 5th picture on the store page pretty much shows this fact as clear as it is humanly possible. Even the trailer spoils this fact. So yeah, there is that. Now let's talk about the actual game.

----------------------------------------------------------

The overall visuals of this game are really cool. Especially the beginning looks and feels awesome with it's lush green jungle areas. But also later parts, where the lovecraftian aspects push through more, are really nice to look at.

The story itself is, should you be familiar with Lovecraft's stories, on point but very predictable. And for everyone not familiar with it, the game works perfectly well as an entry point to the whole myth. Some of the hints and easter eggs to find during your playthrough are a bit too much "on the nose" to make sure, that even the last person realizes what's really going on. Again, if you already know the stories, you sometimes might find yourself rolling your eyes because it is so obvious. This also means that there is no real ground breaking revelation at the end. Should you be looking for an all new and surprising story to experience, this game will probably disappoint you.

One big issue with how the game tells it's story, is the protagonist. Everything that happens is commented by your character. Even the obvious. It also doesn't help that she writes everything down in her notebook. And I mean EVERYTHING. Doesn't matter how insignificant something is. You find yourself constantly in situations where you explore a new area, your character points something out while you also get a new notebook entry that points the exact same thing out - again. I have to admit that I stopped reading all updates in the book early into the game. It is a nice "catch-up" feature, should you not play for a week or two between sessions. But considering how short the main story turns out to be, this is probably a non-issue for most people. The whole notebook would be negligible if it wasn't for it's second use in the game. Your character also writes and draws everything down that is realted to puzzles. It would have been cool when the "story recap" part, also included the puzzle hints. This way the player would need to think about what parts are important for progression and what is not. But this is not the case. In fact, most puzzles are more or less auto-solved by this feature. All the informations needed are neatly organized next to each other. Only thing you need to do is copy the solution from your notebook. The game even let's you know when you solved a puzzle by putting a checkmark next to the book entry. Even if you decide to ignore this feature all together and make your own notes, the protagonist sometimes straight out tells you what to do.

Writing a bit more about the protagonist... Her voice actor is really good and pleasant to listen to. Her character however, is hit or miss depending what you are looking for. She has this constant child-like wonder about everything. Sometimes it really feels out of place. Small spoiler. If you don't want to read this, skip the following part.
----------------------------------------------------------
At one point you are basically auto controlled and your character walks straight at a giant sea creature. For a moment the protagonist has some hints of panic in her voice that is completely gone a couple of seconds later when she realizes that she can breath underwater now. We went from "Oh god please no!" to "Huh... That's cool and unexpected! Let's explore a bit more!" in the span of maybe 30 seconds. The child-like character pushes through so heavily that we even have to dive directly into the dark of the deep sea and towards two glowing eyes. Without even a hint of the panic she experienced seconds before that.
----------------------------------------------------------
Another big problem with having only the protagonist as a character and noone else is, that she knows too much. Every time you read a note written by someone she never met, she will tell you how this character felt while writing these lines. And she is never really shaken up by any information. Like reading about the death of someone. You followed the final days of this persons life through reading their notes that are scattered everywhere. And when you finally find their grave she is like "The poor guy... Anyways! I have to find my missing husband." She doesn't really care about any of the events that happened before she arrived. And this makes it hard for me, as the player, to care for them as well.

Speaking of the complete lack of other characters. The gameplay constantly comes to an hard stop because you find another 4 to 6 notes. All right next to each other that you can neatly read them in order. You will also realize, that the group of people you more or less follow, obviously never talked to each other in person. Why else would you find a note of character A asking something, and the note next to it is character B replying to the question? Considering the story setup, the devs could have used visions for example. To keep the story engaging. It's always better to show your players something, instead of just writing about it. The notes itself are really short. Most of the time just one sentence. Your characters comments to each and every note is sometimes longer than what is actually written on it.

The gameplay itself is mostly fine. You can walk, walk faster and interact with things. Basic, but it get's the job done. Even tho climbing ladders is infuriating slow. And should you get stuck at certain puzzles, even tho your notebook pretty much tells you what to do, you sometimes find yourself slow walking through big areas. Not exactly the most thrilling experience.

----------------------------------------------------------

My opinion about this game can be considered "pure neutral". It's never really bad in the sense that I didn't want to continue. But it's also nothing to write home about. The puzzles are ok for the most part. Not too difficult because of everything I already mentioned. The story is ok and overall enjoyable for Lovecraft fans and people who just got into the myth. It's never really good, or really bad. It's just perfectly in the middle.

So... Who should buy this game? Well... Everyone who wants to experience a darker story, with very few real horror elements and no jump scares. Also people who just want to dive into a nice looking virtual world for a couple of hours, without the need to use their brain too much.

This game is not recommended for everyone who is looking for hard puzzles or a "never before seen" story.

Expect this game to be a perfect entry point, should you not have any experience with puzzle games and/or lovecraftian stories. But please don't make the mistake to think of it like "babies first puzzle adventure" you can get for your kid to have some puzzle fun. The setting is certainly not made for kids.

Call of the Sea на первый (и даже на второй и на третий) взгляд совсем не похожа на произведение по мотивам сочинений Говарда Лавкрафта. Игра встречает яркой цветовой гаммой и приятным саундтреком - никаких тревожных мелодий, никакого напряжения и саспенса и уж тем более никаких монстров. Однако постепенно детали головоломки начинают складываться, и... А вот здесь, пожалуй, остановимся.

История Call of the Sea, нагоняющая интригу буквально с первых минут, является главным достоинством игры. Именно сюжет заставляет продвигаться дальше, подстегивая желание узнать, в чем же, собственно, дело, и что происходит на этом загадочном острове. На острове, куда главная героиня прибывает в поисках своего мужа, искавшего мифическое лекарство от ее редкой и неизлечимой болезни.

Повествование, как водится в бродилках подобного рода, в значительной степени ведется через многочисленные записки, письма, а также дневник главной героини, куда она записывает все основные произошедшие с ней события. При этом следует отметить: читать все, что читается, и осматривать все, что осматривается придется в любом случае, потому что в разбросанных по локациям пресловутым запискам содержатся не только детали бэкграунда истории, но и подсказки, без которых местные головоломки просто не решишь. Также стоит сказать, что вся эта информационная макулатура очень грамотно вплетена в повествование и отражает некоторые детали описанных обстоятельств. Например, по мятому листку с кучей клякс и зачеркнутых слов можно понять, что оно писалось в сильном стрессе, а собственно пишущий не мог подобрать нужные слова. Такие мелочи делают повествование более достоверным и лучше погружают в происходящее.

К вопросу о головоломках - каждая глава представлена полуоткрытой локацией, на которой расположена одна большая загадка, ведущая к следующему уровню, а для ее решения порой нужно решить задачки поменьше. Головоломки как правило не особо сложные по своей идее, но душные по исполнению, и иногда приходится побегать по локации в поисках какой-то пропущенной подсказки или чего-то еще. В таких случаях прекрасно помогают гайды, но тут уж смотрите сами.

Отдельно хочется выделить визуал - несмотря на предсказуемо далеко не прорывную графику Call of the Sea выглядит очень красиво благодаря стилизации и работе художников. Местные пейзажи просто великолепны, и вкупе с приятным саундтреком создают отличную атмосферу.

Вердикт: Call of the Sea это крайне приятная бродилка с интригующей и душевной историей. Прекрасное доказательство того, что небольшие инди-проекты могут вызывать куда большие эмоций, чем блестящие и сверкающие игры ААА-класса. Рекомендую.

Nettes Spiel!

Wer sich mit den Geschichten Lovecrafts rund um den Cthulhu-Kult auskennt, wird hier eine interessante Variante entdecken können - mit sehr vielen Querverweisen und Easter Eggs. Was die Thematik betrifft, eine absolut schlüssige Ergänzung! Auch wenn diese "andere Welt" vermutlich sehr viel schöner ist, als HPLs Alpträume es sich je hätten ausmalen können. ;)

Wem dieses Universum fremd ist, dem begegnet hier ein Rätsel- und Erkundungsspiel mit Puzzlen, die eine gute Balance finden. Sie sind nicht zu schwer, um die Storyimmersion zu stören, und nicht zu leicht, um zu langweilen.

Grafik, Sound und Atmosphäre sind sehr gut. Der Comic-Stil hat etwas ganz eigenes und ist sehr treffend für die Zeit, in der sie spielt.

Alles in allem lohnen sich die 6-7 Stunden, in denen man einer erlebenswerten Geschichte von Liebe, Hingabe und Herkunft folgt.

I'm sorry, but a main character that moves too slow and having to hold down a button during the whole gameplay to walk faster is just a major design flaw in my opinion.
It's a complete disregard for people that are easily injured by repetitive strain.
And overall it's a major accessibility issue.
There should at least be an option to make walking faster a toggle button (press once, walk fast, press again, walk slow) instead of forcing the player to hold down the button the whole time.
I only played 16 minutes and the game seems to be cool, but this issue is so annoying to me that I just couldn't go on playing it...

Call of the Sea é um belíssimo puzzle game ambientado numa ilha misteriosa aonde somos transportados para um mundo com muitas referências ao universo Lovecraftiano

O jogo mesmo mexendo com esses temas não deseja ser de terror e sim mais de mistério, o mundo é muito colorido e a arte do jogo é de primeira

A música assim como o voice acting tem qualidade bem alta aumentando a imersão do jogador

Os puzzles são bem feitos e você conta com um diário que vai lhe ajudar muito para guardar informações importantes que você depois pode usar para facilitar na resolução dos puzzles

O jogo tem 5 horas de duração o que acho justo para o preço cobrado

Está também totalmente legendado em português o que sei que ajuda muito pra galera que não é tão afim de puzzles games, a história e narrativa do jogo já valem ele por si só

Eu fechei ele no Xboxgamepass e mesmo assim quis recomprar na Steam para ajudar a empresa sei que ele saiu em 2020 e só vim rejogar agora mas foi uma experiência tão boa quanto eu me lembrava

NOTA 9/10

Call of the Sea is a beautiful puzzle game with a nice story and good voice acting.

The game itself is not that hard, but the puzzles are still interesting to solve end the story will make you want to progress and discover the secrets of the island and what that happened to the protagonists husband.

For me, it took about 6 hours to beat all of the game and it felt like I did something new during all of that time.

If you love exploration games and enjoy them for their beautiful scenery you have to get this.
I'm only at the begining of the game but I already feel like I'm on vacation exploring this strange and vivid island.

说实话,游玩了8个多小时左右,总体玩下来我很难给出一个好评的理由。

游戏的配乐真的很一般,打完了也没有让我印象深刻的bgm。对于剧情丰富这标签,玩着玩着基本就能猜到游戏的结局了。还有游戏优化,游戏前一两章的卡顿还没那么多,还能接受,到了后面,经常就是扭头就卡顿一下,我寻思i7 12700k+3070ti也不至于这样吧...最差就莫过于主角那移动速度,像乌龟一样,爬楼梯更不用说,纯纯浪费时间。还有解谜,虽然在地图上随手点点就能找到线索,但是解的谜大部分感觉确实有点牵强,有一些根本就看不出来,最后还得去找攻略。

游戏其实是非常无聊的,很拖沓,如果你是想玩玩小游戏,我推荐你选择其他的。

He dudado sobre si darle o no el recomendado. Por un lado la ambientación, el doblaje o algunas de las animaciones están hechas realmente bien. Por el otro, la mitad de los puzzles, y sobre todo el último, me parecen de los puzzles más aburridos y de ensayo y error que he visto. Incluso en guías (estando ya harto he buscado) dicen que lo hagas de una forma concreta, sin saber ellos muy bien porque así funciona, pero funciona. Creo que el juego no comunica nada bien que quiere de ti, y si la exploración fuese ágil, pues todavía, pero la protagonista se mueve extremadamente lento, incluso después de que se le permita "correr".

Cada vez que disfrutaba del juego y de algunos puzzles que, aunque complejos, me parecen justos (de esos que al saber la solución piensas: "Madre mía, soy tontísimo, como no lo he visto antes"), aparecía unos de esos puzzles de ensayo y error o de los aburridos. Estos no me han dejado que el juego me guste más, pero supongo que, en el cómputo general, he estado más tiempo entretenido que cagándome en la pobre familia de los devs, que no tienen culpa de absolutamente nada.

Call of the Sea nestles into that well-worn groove of good-looking walking simulators with light puzzle elements. The island setting makes for a pleasant change from the browns and grays so common in modern games. You're likely to catch on to where the story is headed pretty early on, though I will admit that destination wasn't at all what I was expecting when I made the purchase. Norah's internal monologue - describing everything you're supposed to be noticing - is pretty heavy-handed at times, but fortunately the voice acting is generally solid so it's not terribly grating. Most puzzles are of the "did you find the thing that tells you how to solve the puzzle" type, so don't expect any brain-teasers. My playthrough, which included lots of meticulous exploration and investigation, took about 5 hours, plus another couple to mop up the remaining collectibles and achievements.

解謎類型以及畫風剛好正中紅心,但因為價錢而觀望很久,終於趁打折買下去!

提前看其他玩家的留言都說解謎很簡單,玩之後一度懷疑自己是不是不適合玩這遊戲(?
很多謎題如果腦筋不在線上真的會卡很久,可是一旦發現線索又會解得特別快(除了地點要走有點遠以外)

場景、故事與音樂非常用心,特別是片尾曲,久久無法從腦海裡抹去QQ
這款遊戲與原聲帶值得買!如果你喜歡看故事配解謎,請買下去!

Достоинства: cочетание яркой, слегка мультяшной, картинки и мрачного настроения производит потрясающий эффект, а цветовая палитра в каждой из локаций задает тон действу; настоящий рай для любителей сложных логических заданий; две прекрасные концовки; свою долю очарования в сюжет привносит голос Сисси Джонс, известной по игре Firewatch – главная героиня в ее исполнении живо комментирует происходящее, радуется, грустит и даже поет.

Недостатки: неспешный темп ходьбы / бега.

Оценка: 10/10

Yes, or no? I had fun, but it was rather on the short side.

Pro:
lovely graphics
endearing voice acting
Some spooky parts, but no jump scares

♥♥♥:
Rather short
Puzzles aren't really challenging if you're used to that kind of game.
The journal is cleverly handled, but is almost TOO helpful at times

Would still recommend if you like the genre, but maybe not at full price

The production value is extremely high and the story has some nice twists that keeps it fresh. The puzzles seem very cryptic at first, but with enough exploration they become approachable and do not lack internal logic. The walking parts can become tedious especially around chapter 3 where the levels get bigger, but the amazing graphics make it bearable.

I recommend this game to any Myst fans and people with a soft spot for British colonialism.

Call of the Sea looks great. For the visuals alone I could've justified buying it. But it delivers pretty competently in the two big areas that are most important for it's genre - good puzzles and a good story. Not great in either department, but likely to satisfy fans of this type of game. I am extremely stupid and most of the puzzles took a little bit of brain power to solve but ultimately weren't too difficult - minus one in the mid-to-late game that I think has a bit of a reputation among fans of not being very well designed. Overall Call of the Sea's puzzles are not entirely brain dead, but you won't have to apply "Sierra logic". Meanwhile, the story is an interesting one. It's very upfront about it's Lovecraft roots, but it doesn't play out like a horror game at all. It's just set in the mythos - it does not have the same vibe. That isn't necessarily a bad thing though, as getting the vibe of cosmic horror is exceptionally difficult. Instead Call of the Sea just tells you a story about one person's pretty trippy odyssey on an uncharted island while the actual horror elements are relayed through some journal entries - you're just there to follow in the wake and let your imagination fill in the horror elements at will.

As stated, I am very stupid and managed to complete the game in 5.5 hours which felt fine for the price. I think fans of puzzle/adventure games will enjoy themselves, and I think fans of the Cthulhu mythos will enjoy themselves if they manage their expectations about the lack of scary stuff.

On the one hand, this is one of the most interesting takes on Lovecraft I've seen in ages. An anti-horror game that explores the joy and wonder inherent in the alien and other. A version of Shadow over Innsmouth taking place on a tropical island with a lost civ, but with the same twist that the protagonist is secretly of the fish blood. However, she responds mostly with curiosity, hope and acceptance, enjoying the newfound feeling of belonging and the relief from her lifelong illness (which turns out to be her fish transformation making her unsuited for life on land.) It's one of the most compelling revisionist Lovecraft narratives I've ever seen.

On the other hand, it has some of the most miserable and annoying puzzles I've ever had to slog through. It combines the problem The Witness has with assuming the player understands the cues the same way the devs did, combined with having to slowly slog your way around large environments to move between the puzzle elements. The water-level puzzle in the underground village was one of the worst, having to run between five distant points in a large vertically oriented space before you can even check if you got it right.

I feel like this is a worthwhile story and a great visual treat, but a poor puzzler, and, well, the game did make me play it. If the story I described interests you, play it, but I can't really recommend it as anything other than a curiosity.

i cant expect more. I think 6hrs storytime is perfect, you dont get sick of the game and can finish it in 1-3 days.
the story? 10/10. charakter? smart female lead? 10/10 puzzles are great also. i hate when all the puzzle resembles each other but also hate tooo tricky ones because it takes ages.

these puzzles were great and i also liked the map a lot

Alright, so first off, the good stuff. The visuals in this game were very enjoyable. The first chapter especially was immersive and really felt like a dense jungle. The little shacks were pretty neat as well. I'm also a big fan of HP Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos. *Some* of the puzzles were interesting and felt natural. The seaside organ one was really interesting and I enjoyed figuring it out.

HOWEVER.

About halfway through the game, I wanted to quit. I wanted to refund it, but I also wanted to finish it so I could write a review saying I finished it. I didn't really enjoy the game after the very beginning for the following reasons:
1. Sound Design. Sound design is a HUGE part of immersion in games. And while sometimes the game got it right, like the lightning and the birds, it got other things pretty wrong. Sliding rock sounds were almost organic, like squishing with bass. It's hard to describe but it sure didn't sound like stone grinding against stone. And halfway through the game, you fall off a tower and there's a loud stock woman scream sound. That's pretty pitiful, especially considering the devs had a female voice actor with as many lines as she did. That's another problem.
2. Voice Acting. The main character doesn't stop talking. Every corner you turn, she's got something to say. Every note you pick up, everything that happens in the environment, she's got something to say that doesn't add to anything. It's either something like "Oh, so *that's* what that does!" or "oH tHaT hUrTs. AgAiN." And at the end, she dumps the game's entire plot for 5 minutes. Nothing is left for the player to piece together, and not much of it is even hinted at in in-game notes. And the twist, if you want to call it that, fell so flat you could make a card house on it. There are a several notes that have a cutscene tied to them, and you can something glimpse the writing underneath the slideshow. And what was written was often not what was spoken, as if the script changed after the note was written. There was also a typo in the subtitles at the end of the game, so I can only assume there were more. I could forgive the devs of this, maybe it's translated. But when you have a proofreader, an additional proofreader, and a QA team onboard, I can't let that one go.
3. The Plot. Basically, your husband goes to an island to find a cure for your illness, but doesn't find it. Instead he finds a way for you to continue surviving by taking part in an ancient ritual and feigns death so you'd have to follow his tracks. Alright. Why did you get sick in the first place? Did you have the black goo in you since birth? It showed up after your mother dies. And you have a music box, for some reason. I was expecting the music box to open up at the end and have an empty vial with traces of black goo in it, like your mother poisoned you at birth with it or something. But nope, it's just a thing you have now.
4. The Puzzles. Some of them were interesting. I liked the village section towards the beginning. I didn't like the puzzle in the "upper section" of the temple, with the large murals. I had to look up how to do it and even then, I didn't know how it worked. None of the notes even hinted at a method. What do the starbursts on the dials mean? What do the numbers in the 4 quadrants on the wall mean? Why is "water-animal" circled on the wall. Beats me. The first drawbridge puzzle was one that I solved accidentally. I thought it wanted the symbols in order of height, so the sun at the top, birds fly over mountains, seas are below mountains, and fish below seas. I later saw the solution while looking for another one that it was supposed to be in the order you find the red planks. Happy accidents, I suppose. The star chart puzzle was dull, even the protagonist says "I wonder what constellation opens the sanctuary" after noticing the constellation above. Almost all of the puzzles make no logical sense in their setting. The Simon says puzzle doesn't make sense contextually, why do the fish people need to use the same timing mechanic to switch the flow of water, etc. etc.
5. Minor Clipping. There were several assets, excluding plants, that clipped into other things. The two that immediately come to mind are: The stone tents in the water-lowering room were clipped significantly into the walls of the room, and: Stones that rotate around the walkway at the end clip into the bottom of the walkway.

Like I said, I wanted to finish the game only to say I did. I also wanted to support an indie developer. I have seen other reviews comparing this to Myst. Unfortunately, this game misses the mark that Myst set by several zip codes. It wanted to tell a story of ancient societies and ruins that you stumble upon. Check out The Solus Project for a game that absolutely nails that. The story in that game is also told organically, and not through an encyclopedia of notes that are, for some reason, scattered around here. I wanted to enjoy this game, but the longer I played it, the less I did. For that and all of the reasons above, I can't recommend Call of the Sea.

Such a good game!! Beautiful scenery!! The mystery elements are fantastic!! I loved wandering around and finding evidence, reading notes, and the puzzle solving aspects were very good!!
There were only 2 instances where I got really stuck and needed to google it to get me started, one of which I hadn't noticed the entrance to another space because it was so dark, and another where I was very close to figuring out what I needed to do but needed some help to get me started. Once Dr Google pointed me in the right direction I was able to take off running! Other than these 2 instances, the evidence and clues laying around steered you well and the puzzles themselves were very intuitive!!

There were a few bugs, the most major one was when the screen went entirely dark blue during a cut-scene and didn't recover until I restarted the game. Other than that the only bugs I came across were very minor, such as tiny audio skips or a missing stone on the floor etc. These minor bugs didn't impact gameplay at all. Sometimes the movement animation made me feel a bit nauseous but this is definitely not the only game I've experienced that with and it wasn't the worst for it by far.

The story is fascinating!! I do wish the ending had a bit more to it, but it worked well still! Overall I was very happy with the game, and when played in bursts rather than all at once it lasted me about 3 days!

J'écris cette évaluation à chaud, je viens de finir le jeu à 100%.

Puzzle game dans une ambiance Lovecraftienne qui est vraiment immersive pour le coup, l'histoire est simple, touchante et intrigante, j'ai eu quelques fois les poils dressés.
Les énigmes sont mitigées, j'ai du en skip une (via un guide Steam) parce que je la trouvais absolument incompréhensible.

Visuellement c'est plutôt la régalade, ça égale pas les AAA que tout le monde vénère, mais ce style ultra coloré m'a fait voyager et c'est le principal.

Relativement court pour ceux qui n'ont pas le temps de faire des gros puzzle game (type The Witness ou Talos Principle).

Le seul petit bémol (et le seul truc qui a failli me faire mettre un pouce rouge) est sur la maniabilité du personnage et le nombre de murs invisibles qui m'ont trigger et donné l'impression de conduire un camion benne.

Alrighty, so as a fan of Lovecraft, and having read his complete work including ghost writer work that he did I will say that this story is so very inspired. So Lovecraft said the oldest and greatest fear is fear of the unknown. This story takes out the unknown elements of his stories and gives you something fantastical in it's place.
I suppose the best way to describe it would be take Lovecrafts stories and have them be told from a place of open mindedness and understanding rather then fear. This being said when Lovecraft was writing his stories were scary because the world was full of people unwilling to come to an understanding.

I will stay away some spoilers and answer some questions you may have.

Is it a good Lovecraft story? Despite it's pastels, yes, though not from a perspective of horror.

Is it a good puzzle/adventure game? You bet your sweet bippy. If you enjoy first person puzzle games like portal or this may be stretching it a little, the room. Then you will most likely enjoy this. I only got really stuck in one room and I think that was because the puzzle needs a bit of a rework.

Is it horror in any way? No not really.

How long is it? I would guess around 6-7 hours, it's a short game to be sure. I went AFK with it on hence the extra few hours.

Replayability? in a few years maybe.

Cthulhu mitosunu çok seven biri olarak sadece puzzle sevenlerin almasını tavsiye ederim. Ben sahil kasabasında geçen, balıkçılarla vs. konuşarak bir kayıp davası üzerine çalıştığımız bir oyun hayal etmiştim. Puzzlelar sıktı biraz açıkçası

If you like a nice casual game with puzzles, a good story and sometimes quite beautiful scenary, you will like this one. Some puzzles were quite challenging but I appreciate that, it would have been boring if it was too easy.

Call of the Sea

... ist ein rätseliger Walkingssimulator mit einer ansprechenden versimpelten Grafik und einer einfachen aber schön erzählten Geschichte.
Für das Setting ließ man sich von den Erzählungen H.P.Lovecrafts inspirieren, wobei man im wesentlichen auf die Darstellung des Horrors verzichtete und vielmehr an der Mystik bediente ohne pausenlos auf den Vater des Gedankens herum zu reiten, sondern in kleinen Hommagen darauf hinweist und ansonsten in erster Linie dieses Material nutzt um die eigene Geschichte dieses Titels zu erzählen. Wem also das Material bereits bekannt ist erkennt es und wer es nicht kennt, verpasst nichts.

Die einzelnen Rätsel stehen meist für sich alleine in den einzelnen Spielabschnitten, und sind per se nicht schwierig, aber auch nicht gänzlich "selbstlösend". Hauptaufgabe ist im Grunde sich sämtliche Hinweise zu Lösung zusammen zu suchen und dann die gefundenen Information zu verwenden. Dabei tendiert man eher einmal komplizierter zu denken als vom Spiel gewollt, aber ohne zumindest ein wenig knobeln zu müssen, würde es auch weniger Spaß machen.

Die Grafik ist wie bereits erwähnt versimpelt aber ansprechend, mit vielen Details und Kleinigkeiten, die für ausreichend Atmosphäre sorgen. Schön hergerichtete Szenenbilder und optische Stimmungsmacher finden sich sich zuhauf. So kann man, selbst wenn man grundsätzlich kein Fan dieses Stils ist, die Arbeit, die sich hier gemacht wurde, zumindest anerkennen und vielleicht doch ein wenig zu genießen wissen.

Technisch gesehen verlief bei mir das ganze Spiel im Großen und Ganzen reibungslos. Lediglich seltene kleinste Ruckler beim Nachladen einer Region oder gelegentlich nachladen von Texturen und entfernten Objekten sind mir aufgefallen, wobei ich hier wirklich "Rosinen picke".

Zuletzt noch zwei Kleinigkeiten, die mir persönlich weniger gefallen haben, aber meiner Meinung nach nicht stark ins Gewicht fallen. (Ist mehr dazu gedacht, dass die Kritik vollständig ist.)
Da das Spiel stark in einzelne Spielabschnitte getrennt ist, erkundet man halt nur diese einzelnen speziellen Standorte und nicht die gesamte Insel. Die Szenenwechsel werden erzählerisch zwar verpackt, aber es schränkt das Gefühl für die Größe der Insel und die Orientierung darauf sehr ein. Das Spiel so zu halten ist eine nachvollziehbare Entscheidung der Entwickler. Mehr Insel bedeutet schlicht mehr Aufwand und hier wurde nun mal mehr Wert auf Qualität als Quantität gelegt, was diesen Kritikpunkt in meinen Augen zurecht hinten anstehen lässt.
Der zweite Punkt ist das Movement des Spielcharakters, der sehr "Walkingsimulator" ist. Heißt gehen und ein wenig laufen. Kein Springen, kein ducken, die Leiteranimation klammer ich hier einfach mal aus.
(Weil heute alles irgendwie ein SPOILER ist, hier eine SPOILER-WARNUNG)
Während das alles an Land noch absolut in Ordnung ist, ist das Schwimmen sehr ... hölzern. Man hat eher den Eindruck durch das Wasser zu kriechen, als würde der Charakter sich durch eine Röhre zwängen und nur mit den Armen vorwärts ziehen können. Die Schwimmzüge führen nicht zu einem Gleiten und weil man nur in die Richtung schwimmt in der man schaut, also weder die Möglichkeit zu Auf- noch Abtrieb hat, kommt es meiner Vorstellung von "durch Wackelpudding tauchen" sehr nah.
Man liegt dabei nicht im Pudding, sondern zwischen dem Pudding. Man kann soviel mit dem Beinen strampeln wie man will ohne voran zu kommen und mit den Armen robbt man sich eher durch die Brühe als etwas anderes.
Ich will hier einfügen, dass es sich nun sehr dramatisch ließt, aber wie oben beschrieben ist es eigentlich eine vernachlässigbare Sache, bei der es schön gewesen wäre, wenn es ein wenig "schwimmiger" wäre. Es ist nicht wirklich störend oder in irgendeiner Weise entwertend gemeint.
(SPOILER-WARNUNG ENTWARNUNG!!!)

- - - - - - - - -
In Kürze:
Die Erzählung ist gut und sauber verpackt. Die Grafik ansprechend. Die Rätsel lösen sich nicht von selbst, aber es werden ausreichend Hilfen geboten, diese zu lösen.

Gerade durch die gelungene erzählerische Aufarbeitung macht es Spaß die Handlung weiter zu treiben und die Rätsel zulösen. Damit sticht es für mein empfinden aus vielen ähnlichen Titel, die dieses Genre prägen, positiv hervor und hat seine guten Bewertungen durchaus verdient.

Mit etwa 8 std. Spielzeit, ohne großartige Hänger, meiner Meinung nach, angemessenen Sideseeingpensum und dennoch nicht alle Archivments gefunden zu haben, halte ich das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis für absolut angemessen.

休闲玩一玩还是可以的,毕竟画面确实明丽漂亮。解密一般般,重复度太高,比较考验眼力,但是部分也比较有新意,比如文字拼写那关,确实不错。
追求一个好故事就算了,熟悉克苏鲁那一套的简直看开头猜结尾,毫无悬念,伟大的爱情也毫无代入感。

Unbearable. Story and worldbuilding is absolutely wrecked by puzzles which difficulty only contains of spreading the required "puzzle parts" minutes from one another. There's no room for trying while you think, just randomly click everything everywhere until your notebook has the answers.

Strong recommendation if you're into exploration and/or puzzle games. In a broad sense, I consider this "Cinematic Myst-lite". The puzzles aren't nearly as convoluted (which I consider a point in its favor), and the intent on telling an interesting story is very obvious.

The entire game is narrated, and the VA for Norah did an impeccable job. Authentic, in a word. The only line that comes to mind that I laughed at was "The hatches are opening!" (Chapter 3), which... It does not matter who utters this phrase, my brain auto-translates it to Star Fox's voice. That probably says a lot more about me than it does the game. Maybe that was the reference they were making! I really don't know. Regardless, her performance helps immeasurably to assist in shaping and carrying the tone of this experience. The other voices also pull their fair amount of weight, but by volume... Norah spends the whole game talking to herself, and I enjoyed it. A healthy combination of quality voice talent, and good writing.

Blending well with the voice work, music and ambiance were well curated. I really have nothing to criticize; it swells for momentous occasions (as it should), and dissipates into the background for casual exploration (also as it should). Whoever's at the helm for sound design has things well in hand.

I've devoted a lot of time to sound. Let's talk about what you look at.

I'm going to chalk hiccups in performance up to the machine I run, and its relative age (6 years on the GPU). As such, I doubt optimization for my card model was even close to being part of their testing. There were a couple chapters where even on the lowest setting, things got a little choppy just walking around.

Minor grievances aside, the world they constructed (though intentionally hallucinogenic in places) is radiant and largely convincing. Fascinating conceptual structures. Verdant foliage. Bio luminescent marine life. In layman's terms: Stuff in this game is fun to look at.

And we've come back around to the puzzles. The materials, murals, logs, journals, and Norah's (invaluable) notebook streamlines the old Myst formula of "draw puzzle solution so you can refer to it later, find the puzzle, input solution, nothing happens, reset, try again, nothing, go back to the thing you drew, realize your lack of artistic ability has cost you 40 minutes, repeat until dead inside or a better artist".

Norah writes them down for you in perfect clarity, as that is the redeeming superpower of being an art teacher. You can refer to them at any time by pressing a single button. The clarity between discovery and determining a puzzle's solution cuts 90% of the time out of the old process.

In closing, I cherished the journey; it kept me engaged and seeking more answers. A drive which carried me through the game... perhaps a little too quickly.

Die Reise hält, was die Optik verspricht

Legt man sich ein Spiel wie Call of the Sea zu, hat man das vermutlich wegen der schicken Optik getan und hofft, dass aber auch ein gutes Spiel dahintersteckt. Ich habe es einige Male schon anders erlebt, aber Call of the Sea lässt nicht nach und hat am Ende überzeugt. Die Entwickler haben sich ein paar schöne Kulissen für die zweite Hälfte (und natürlich das Finale) aufgehoben, damit sich die Optik letztendlich nicht "wegguckt", sondern immer wieder zum Staunen und Träumen einläd. Dahingehend macht Call of the Sea auch bei seinem Inhalt nichts falsch, es ist nicht zu kurz und nicht zu lang.
Was die Story betrifft, ich bin überhaupt kein Kenner der Werke H.P. Lovecrafts. Nach der Thematik hier werde ich auch nicht unbedingt ein Fan, aber das ist Geschmackssache. Episch ist es allemal. Es geht um Nora, die einer Expedition ihres verschollenen Mannes auf eine Südseeinsel folgt. Der Spieler muss Rätsel lösen, um Harrys Weg folgen zu können. Auf der Reise sieht man überall die Reste der Expedition (zurückgelassene Camps) inkl. Notizen. So erfährt man, wie es denanfangssechs Leuten ergangen ist. Am Ende gibt es zwar noch einen Twist, damit das Ganze noch eine kleine Wendung nimmt... obwohl die Frage nach dem Erfolg der Mission eigentlich auch schon spannend genug wäre... allerdings ist der Twist nun auch kein Augenöffner. Ich habe ihn zwar nicht geahnt, aber er stellt die ganze Reise nun auch nicht in Frage. Naja, irgendwie auch schon, auf eine emotionale Art nämlich. Da haut das Spiel am Ende nochmal einen raus. bzw. mir eine rein (im positiven Sinn). Es geht im Liebe und um Zugehörigkeit, um eine höhere Bedeutung des Lebens.

Die Rätsel sind größtenteils fair und in gesundem Maß vorhanden, nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig. Sie sind immer mit Erkundung der Umgebung und dem Finden von Hinweisen verbunden. Hat man alles beisammen, werden meist Tafeln eingestellt oder eben nach einem speziellen Muster Knöpfchen gedrückt, die dann in der richtigen Kombination den weiteren Weg freigeben. Hat man das Prinzip raus (Nora so lange im Notizbuch Dinge notieren lassen, bis alle Hinweise erfasst sind), weiß man, wann man die Chance hat, ein Rätsel mit all seinen Komponenten zu verstehen und lösen zu können.
Zwei bis drei Rätsel sind ganz schön fies. Eins erfordert eine bestimmte Assoziation, ein anderes räumliche Vorstellungskraft, und ein drittes ein gutes musikalisches Gehör mit Erinnerungsvermögen. Den Rest habe ich früher oder später hinbekommen. Leider hab ich das nicht alleine gespielt und kann es nicht hundertprozentig beurteilen, da ich von meiner eher ungeduldigen Begleitung sehr schnell in eine Richtung gebracht wurde.
Da ich aber nicht der beste Rätsellöser bin, denke ich, dass die meisten durch diesen Titel (sehr) gut durchkommen werden.
Schön ist, dass die Rätsel eben immer wunderbar in die Umgebung eingearbeitet sind. Man kann sich das wie irgendwelche Tempelrätsel aus Tomb Raider vorstellen. Man muss eben nur alles finden und verstehen.
Mehr gibt's gar nicht zu sagen außer einem Fazit:

Atmosphärische Reise, die speziell für Lovecraft-Fans, Rätselfreunde und Liebhaber emotionaler Geschichten unverzichtbar ist.

Vorab wünschte Ich mir es gebe eine neutrale Stimmenvergabe,dann würde Ich diese auch hier nutzen.
Das Spiel als solches ist nicht schlecht- allerdings sprechen schon ein paar Punkte dafür es nicht zu mögen.

Ich bin ein Lovecraft Fan. Wir besitzen neben ein paar Büchern auch ein paar Brettspiele.
Da dachte ich mir, kommt das Spiel ja gerade recht ;-)

Es beginnt echt stark.
Die Umgebung wunderschön gestaltet- Traumhaft geradezu.
Man 'schleicht' sich voran und erkundet diese Welt und Ihre Rätsel die es galt zu finden und zu lösen um weiter zu kommen.
Da ist der Haken. Die Rätsel sind so abstrus und verwirrend das selbst ich als Rätsel-fan oft nicht mehr weiter wusste.
Große Areale mit unsinnigen Kombinationen.
Auf so vieles wäre ich garnicht gekommen oder hätte es gefunden, wenn ich nicht nachgelesen hätte.
Und das ist etwas was ich nur bei echt harten Nüssen mache und machen möchte.
Und davon gab es hier eine Menge. . . Das hat mir leider den ganzen Spielspaß genommen.
Weil es zu unsinnig war.. Nunja..
Die Grafik, die Geschichte, der Sound sind Super.
Die Charaktere njaa etwas Eindimensional.

Letztenendes ein Spiel das ich mir dann doch hätte ersparen können auch wenn es Anfangs soooo einladend wirkte.

Achso: nen Bug gab es bei mir dann auch noch das den Frustlevel noch erhöhte.Ich konnte ein Rätsel nicht beenden da es nichts zu sehen gab wo es eigentlich sein sollte..
Da half es auch nicht das es dann irgendwann klappte, nach einer bestimmten Einstellung...
Sollte aber auch nicht Sinn und Zweck sein, einfach weil man bis dahin dann eh schon recht frustriert war.

Tut mir leid *Call of the Sea* Das war ein Schuss in den Ofen aber heee immerhin hat das Spiel es geschafft mich in den Wahnsinn zu treiben ;-)

【オススメポイント】
★「クトゥルフ神話」の世界観
★ホラーと違う、奇妙な感じが味わえる
★愛のある物語が好き
★究極の選択を迫られる



【ゲームをプレイした感想】
TRPCで有名なクトゥルフ神話ってあるじゃないですか。あれの世界観の原作者がラヴクラフトって方なんですけど
その方が書いた作品のインスマスの影を題材にしたアドベンチャーゲームです。
ただ題材ってだけでストーリーとしては全く別の物なので、世界観を引き継いでできた別物語となっています。

基本的に逃げたりとか、戦ったりはなく、探索をして謎を解いていくアドベンチャーゲームです。
ゲーム内のちょっとした物をみて物語の背景を読み取りつつ、謎解きのヒントを回収しつつ…
という、典型的な謎解きアドベンチャーゲームだと思いました。

同じクトゥルフ神話がベースのゲームだと有名な「Call of Cthulhu 」がありますが、
グロもあったり、逃げたりもするし、がっつりホラーだし、ちょっとゲームテクニックが必要になるので
そういうのが不得意な僕としては、ホラーじゃなくても奇妙なものにドキドキしたりして、
クトゥルフ神話の世界観をじっくり味わえて、とても楽しかったです。

あとほんといい話だなって泣きましたね…。
是非、怖くはないラヴクラフト。やってみて下さい…!

This is a great point & click adventure game set in the 1930's. The story flips between the real world, where you as Norah, go in search of your missing husband, and a dream-like underwater world. Here Norah tries to work out the cause of her mysterious 'illness'.

Walking around in a world that moves with you is a nice additional touch, almost providing an 'open-world' experience rather than the typical static screen background of many P&Cs. Interaction icons are also small, making it easy to miss things. I find this to be a good feature as it encourages exploration.

The voice acting is of a high standard and the 'colouring-book' graphics make for a pleasant experience.

The puzzles are interesting, but not particularly challenging. (About the same as Room, but not as hard as Myst.) This is not a bad thing, as it enables the game to focus on the story, which is truly its strong point.

Most enjoyable! Definitely recommend.

Je recommande chaleureusement Call Of The Sea qui est un excellent jeu d'aventure en vue à la première personne, un peu à la croisée du travail du studio Frictional Games (la narration visuelle est au top et la thématique pas si éloignée de celles qu'affectionnent les développeurs de Frictional même si Call Of The Sea ne cherche jamais à faire vraiment peur) et d'un Firewatch (pour la palette de couleurs chatoyantes qui ravit les yeux). On incarne une jeune femme atteinte d'une mystérieuse maladie partie à la recherche de son époux (un universitaire) sur une île déserte du Pacifique. Pour cela il faudra explorer différents environnements (jungle luxuriante, épave, ruines "cyclopéennes" etc.) de l'île tout en résolvant quelques puzzles (classiques mais bien amenés) aidé de notes diverses trouvées tout au long du chemin. Si les clins d'oeil appuyés au genre "pulp" et en particulier à l'oeuvre de Lovecraft (Le Cauchemar d'Innsmouth n'est jamais bien loin) ne rendent pas l'histoire particulièrement originale au premier abord, les développeurs ont toutefois réussi à produire une narration exemplaire qui sait se ménager son effet de surprise à la fin. Les graphismes sont magnifiques et les ambiances soignées (bruitages et musiques sont aussi d'excellente facture) arrivent à faire oublier une liberté de mouvement au final assez limitée. Comptez 4 à 6 heures de jeu selon votre rapidité à appréhender les puzzles et votre envie d'apprécier les environnements (et honnêtement ça serait dommage de se presser tellement les décors sont beaux) !

Tourne parfaitement sous Linux grâce à SteamPlay / Proton (Kubuntu 20.04, Nvidia pilotes propriétaires) ! :)

Para leer la reseña "haz clic en la imagen" y disfruta de su magnífica banda sonora

Una historia entre 2 mundos

A día de hoy se han creado numerosas aventuras ♥♥♥ puzzles pero Out of the blue y RawFury han logrado dar un toque especial y clásico a Call of the Sea que si bien tiene un aire que nos recordará a clásicos literarios como "la isla del tesoro" de Robert Louis Stevenson sumido en un gran ambiente lovecraftiano o "En busca del dorado" de Jhon Hemming, acompañado de una sorprendente banda sonora.

Atrapa y sorprende

Os pongo en contexto, encarnamos a Norah, desde pequeña siempre ha tenido una enfermedad muy rara en las manos, por ello siempre usa guantes. Tras casarse ♥♥♥ el arqueólogo "Harry Everhart", éste decide buscar la cura de su amada y tras mucha investigación da ♥♥♥ un maravilloso lugar. Tras meses sin conocer nada del destino de su marido, Norah recibe un extraño paquete, en el que encontraría una antigua daga, una carta y unas coordenadas. Tras esta introducción dará pie nuestra aventura.

Difícil pero gratificante

Tanto es así que estamos ante un juego que no es para todo el mundo dado a su complejidad ♥♥♥ algunos puzzles que se nos pueden complicar debido a la mala percepción de las pistas.

Encontramos un juego dividido en 6 capítulos ♥♥♥ numerosos lugares que visitar. Guiándonos mediante un tradicional sistema de notas, que irán revelando la historia y encontrando pistas que iremos anotando en nuestro diario. Aún así los puzzles aunque originales, gozan de una dificultad innata que nos hará calentarnos la cabeza de más en el buen sentido y dar vueltas de un lado a otro de la isla para reunir toda la información.

Aún así, implementa un sistema de atajos que unirá las zonas para que sea más rápido y menos desesperante encontrar las pistas y resolver los puzzles.

Artísticamente maravilloso

Este gran videojuego exprime el motor gráfico Unity dando como resultado un estilo gráfico que si bien, nos recordará a "Firewatch" debido a su juego de iluminación ♥♥♥ la luz pero que además, nos transportará de lugares cálidos a ambientes más oscuros ♥♥♥ cierto toque lovecraftiano.

Además, sonoramente el juego posee un gran juego de actores que ponen voz a Harry y Norah que le va como anillo al dedo. Además cuenta ♥♥♥ una banda sonora de categoría creada por "Eduardo De la Iglesia", conocido por crear bandas sonoras importantes como "Gylt" juego creado por Tequila Works y que fue lanzado como exclusivo de lanzamiento en Stadia y "Comandos II" y "Comandos III" de Pyro Studios. Siendo este uno de los fuertes del juego que además se encuentra subtitulado al español, ♥♥♥ algunos errores leves que no dificultan su comprensión.

El fin del viaje

Dado que los escape room son tan peligrosos, en este caso no buscamos escapar pero Call of the sea, nos propone una gran aventura de la que alejarnos de la realidad y engancharnos durante sus 6 horas en sus idílicos escenarios, ♥♥♥ su gran apartado sonoro y visual. Siendo un título de misterio e intriga muy recomendable de 2020.

It's well made, but painfully boring.

It's 90% walking simulator and 10% environmental puzzles, and I guess I was expecting it to be a bit more of an even split.

This is a MIXED review. The game looks amazing, and the story keeps you interested to the end (although the setting is not particularly new if you are familiar with Cthulu like stuff), but the puzzles are VERY easy and there are not too many which makes for quite a short game. In addition the walk speed is VERY slow, which makes solving some puzzles excruciatingly boring; almost like the designers wanted to increase the time it takes to finish this way.

My excitement for this game flagged a little when I realised it was yet another Lovecraftian spin rather than anything truly original, but with the pretty graphics and the puzzles that were being promised I gave it a go anyway.

And... halfway through the first chapter, the game locks and prevents me from interacting with anything. Checking the forums indicates that this has been a known bug since 2015 which has still not been fixed. By the time that I contact Support and got a reply, it was too late for me to get a refund through Steam, and beyond their initial email (quite possibly a boilerplate) there has been no communication from them at all. Useless support team, and a game-breaking bug left unfixed for over SEVEN YEARS now? I wouldn't risk it if I were anyone else.

If you like Portal/Talos Principle/Prince of Persia/Darksiders/Tomb Raider and similar games for their puzzles and decide to pick this up expecting it to be fun in a similar way, you will be sorely disappointed.

The puzzles in this game aren't meant to be solved quickly and sometimes they feel so obtuse. The puzzles feel sandbox-ish, meaning you're not stuck in one place trying to solve one puzzle, but you put together small pieces of a bigger puzzle. And some of the small ones aren't intuitive either. Some of the starting ones weren't so bad, but chapter 3 onwards, I couldn't get past without looking up Youtube, and I simply couldn't understand why they had to be so un-fun.

Instead of feeling "Wow this was a cleverly designed puzzle", I simply felt "why would a puzzle be designed this way?". Or I'm just simply dumb!

Walking sim where, in typical walking sim fashion, you don't usually have to do any puzzle-solving to solve the puzzles--the solution is almost always to explore everything, read every note, and touch every object; the solutions will appear in your journal as you do, and many of the puzzles are locked until they do.

The story isn't ground-breaking, but it's coherent and the characters' intentions, back-stories, and choices are actually make sense in the context presented, which is more than I can say for a lot of games. I quite like the art direction, and I found the iconography and other visual cues clear and understandable. Fully voiced narration is always a plus. Finally, I really appreciated the ability to use Chapter Select to go back and get the last few collectibles & achievements I'd missed without having to re-play the entire game.

Call of the Sea, это феерия эмоций! Магия... чудеса невиданные! Изумительное и красивейшее путешествие на необитаемый остров в поисках пропавшей экспедиции. От начала и до конца игры картинка и виды мегалитических древних построек и невероятных механизмов на фоне джунглей или залитых солнцем песчаных пляжей...поражает! А вот жуткий уровень с изувеченным, разорванным титаническим существом кораблем в памяти останется навсегда... Впечатлений масса... Игра настолько отличная, хоть и короткая, что о ней можно говорить еще долго и долго. Просто класс!

Call of the Sea ist ein Adventure, bei dem man mit der Protagonistin, Norah, auf der Suche nach deren Ehemann ist. Dieser ist mitsamt seiner Expedition auf einer Insel verschollen, auf der er nach einem Heilmittel für Norahs mysteriöse Krankheit gesucht hat.

Bei dem Spiel geht es nicht darum, Gegenstände aus dem Inventar zu kombinieren oder zu benutzen. Vielmehr ist man für jedes Rätsel in einem kleinen Gebiet unterwegs, in dem man erst einmal das Rätsel finden muss. Und natürlich die Hinweise, wie man es löst. Beispielsweise muss man Holzscheiben so anordnen, dass das richtige Muster angezeigt wird. Hierzu findet man in dem Gebiet Holzskulpturen mit unterschiedlichen Mustern. Ein weiterer Hinweis sagt einem, welcher Teil von welcher Holzskulptur richtig ist. Anschließend ordnet man die Ringe richtig an und öffnet so etwas. Norah zeichnet die Sachen praktischerweise in ihrem Tagebuch ein, sodass man nicht unnötig durch die Gegend rennen muss.
Die Rätsel sind keine Selbstläufer, man muss schon nachdenken. Aber sie sind machbar. Sie sind auch nicht schlecht, allerdings auch nicht die Stärke des Spiels. Die liegt woanders (siehe unten). Bei den schwierigeren Rätseln war es nämlich oft so, dass man sie auf zweierlei Art interpretieren kann. Das Spiel hat mir dann zu wenig Feedback gegeben, ob ich auf dem richtigen Weg war oder nicht. Das letzte große Rätsel war außerdem unnötig fummelig. Ich will hier aber nicht spoilern.

Die große Stärke des Spiels ist seine Atmosphäre. Bereits auf den ersten Metern merkt man, wie liebevoll die Umgebung gestaltet ist. Man läuft zum Beispiel nicht einfach nur über einen schnöden Dschungelpfad. Nein, überall sieht man Pflanzen in allen Farben und Formen. Dazu noch die Lichteinstrahlung - es ist ein Traum! :D

Die Musik ist ziemlich zurückhaltend, aber trotzdem sehr passend. Was dem Ganzen noch mehr Flair verleiht, ist die Protagonistin. Norah kommentiert so ziemlich jedes Foto und jede Notiz, die man findet, jedes Rätsel und auch sonst das Geschehen. Nicht so viel, dass sie stören würde. Im Gegenteil. Man hat dadurch umso mehr das Gefühl, Teil des Ganzen zu sein und nicht nur ein unbeteiligter Beobachter.

Die Spielzeit beträgt ca. 7-8 Stunden.

Da ich in einer Review gelesen habe, dass Norah ziemlich langsam sei, hier noch der Hinweis, dass man (unendlich lange) sprinten kann, wenn man Shift gedrückt hält.

Insgesamt war Call of the Sea für mich eine großartige Erfahrung und definitiv das beste Adventure, das ich in den letzten Jahren gespielt habe.

This a solid 5/10. The game looks and sounds absolutely beautiful, a pleasure to look at. The notebook mechanic was helpful and also beautifully drawn. The puzzles are mostly poor, they require guesswork, or walking back to previously explored locations, though there are a few good ones. The story is the most confusing aspect. It had potential, but was poorly narrated. If you have read Lovecraft, you'll know where the story is going from minute one, and you may be annoyed to realize that the Lovecraftian themes have been changed quite a bit. If you have NOT read Lovecraft, well then, the ending will probably make very little sense to you. Worst, the narrator (the main character who monologues as she walks on) is not coherent about what she expresses (she's terrorized one second, relaxed the next) which is jarring and kept me from immersing myself in the game. So, overall, not good, not terrible, but not worth the price tag.
ETA : Oh, I give the game bonus points for including a "replay by chapter" feature when you've finished it. I really like games that do that so you can complete 100% without doing everything again.

10/10! Absolutely brilliant! Flawless! I loved every single aspect of this game!

It was the right level of challenging, not so hard that I get frustrated while still being challenging enough that I don't get bored. The story was excellent. Soundtrack and art, beautiful. The only fault I can give is that there isn't more. I would happily play any number of sequels to this game.

《Call of the Sea》翻译为《海之呼唤》,是一款线性的解谜游戏,游戏时间不长,不过做的很精致。
在剧情上就是主角寻找为自己找治病之法的老公,孤生一人来到了南太平洋的小岛上,经过重重解谜,最终得知真相。结局的反转做的还是不错的,没有太过生硬,但是其实故事的真相还是有点残酷的,虽然最终给了两个结局的选择,但是不管哪个结局都带着遗憾,不过这也许才是真实的人生吧。
另外游戏的画风比较艳丽,配上背景音乐,渲染出的南洋小岛的感觉特别不错。游戏EPIC有赠送过,没领取的可以买来试试。

Cuando vi Call of the Sea en la tienda, me pareció un juego ♥♥♥ una premisa interesante, aunque fui más atraído por su estética que otra cosa. Sin embargo, a medida que me fui adentrando en su mundo, más quería salir de allí.

Sí, lo primero que salta a la vista son los gráficos. Definitivamente fue el aspecto al que más atención le dieron: está muy bien logrado, ♥♥♥ un hermoso manejo de colores y una meticulosidad que se manifiesta hasta en los detalles. Pero ese esmero parece haber ido en detrimento de los demás aspectos del juego. Mientras que la música no está nada mal y contribuye a la formación de una atmósfera cuando menos intrigante, los puzzles y la historia dejan muchísimo que desear, arruinando la experiencia del conjunto.

En torno a la historia, lo cierto es que, aunque sí pone sobre la mesa algunos temas interesantes -por ejemplo sobre identidad, autoaceptación, relaciones, etc-, la ejecución es pobre. El problema central reside, particularmente, en la narrativa: mientras que la historia pretende ser profunda y enigmática, en el primer o segundo “foreshadowing” -si es que lo podemos llamar así porque, en serio, de sutil no tiene nada- ya descubrís que es lo que va a ocurrir. No sólo eso, sino que los diálogos son una bolsa de sentimientos encontrados. Mientras que, por un lado, algunos comentarios me parecieron interesantes para contribuir al worldbuilding, en otros casos no contribuían a nada o la protagonista repetía diez veces lo que ya sabíamos. Así, los diálogos terminaban superponiéndose ♥♥♥ los hints visuales y éstos perdieron efectividad. Además, la historia va a menos a medida que avanza: por todo esto el final, una instancia que debería ser emocionalmente trascendente, se sintió completamente meh.
Los puzzles se llevan el premio al peor elemento del juego, son horribles. Supongo que sonaron mejor cuando lo planearon, porque terminaron siendo absurdamente tediosos, aburridos, arbitrarios y ♥♥♥ una dificultad completamente aleatoria -podías saltar de un puzzle difícil a uno fácil-.

Call of the Sea podría haber sido una experiencia amena, incluso heartwarming en cierta medida, pero terminó siendo un viaje aburrido, fastidioso y completamente olvidable. Mientras que, supuestamente, la historia y los puzzles deberían ser las estrellas del juego, parece que, por alguna razón, hubo una inversión de las prioridades. El resultado fue un producto cuya mediocridad fue oculta por la pompa del marketing.

“现实生活里,各色爱情故事不会止于婚礼,葬礼才是这些故事最终的结局。”
玩的过程中以为是挚爱吾妻
玩到结局才发现是失恋奈亚....

不错的解谜游戏,就是走路的部分有点过于多了。整体有点慢热,感觉自己算是比较有耐心的人,还是觉得一开始的节奏有点太慢了。不过差不多中后期开始变得精彩起来,有那么几个场景还是很震撼的。谜题难度不高,而且线索都会自动帮你记录在游戏里自带的笔记本里面,还挺亲和。而且配音很到位,代入感很强,两个结局我都很喜欢...不管最后做出了什么样的选择,究其根本都是因为那份女主和她丈夫之间至死不渝的感情,各有各的圆满,也各有各的遗憾,这个故事也因此变得真实而深刻。
就个人来说还是挺喜欢这游戏的,毕竟玩了挺多克系游戏,感觉差不多就是怪物图鉴,抛开克苏鲁背景不谈,换成什么其他异界来的怪物之类的也完全没什么区别。难得有这么一个把克系元素融入在剧情和背景设定里面的游戏,还是相当不错的。

Игра очень понравилась. Невероятная приключенческая и любовная история в антураже невероятной красоты тропических пейзажей. Поклонникам жанра не являюсь, но зацепило. Порадовали головоломки, тут на любой вкус и цвет, от довольно простеньких, до тех, над которыми пришлось поломать голову. С точки зрения сюжета, также выше всяких похвал. 1000 кГц из 1000 кГц xD

A beautiful game; whilst it wears Lovecraft on its sleeve it's much more of a love story than a horror one. The plot doesn't really deviate from expectations but it's well told and Norah is a really likeable protagonist. The puzzles are pretty tough; there's a few timer based ones and a few puzzles that require being good at visualising symbols but nothing terribly obnoxious.

If you're an adventure game fan and would like a not so grim dark take on Lovecraft-style material, check this out.

95% of this game is excellent. the puzzles were challenging without being so abstract they required a guide, the voice acting is a delight(especially the singing), the environments are well detailed and environmental storytelling is well used. This game's sole flaw in my opinion is a protracted game of "simon says" towards the end that kills both the pacing and immersion, which had both been excellent up to that point. I still strongly recommend the game and the use of headphones while playing it.

조작이 굉장히 답답하고 느림. 사다리가 특히 암걸린다.

스토리는 괜찮지만, 그 스토리를 푸는 형식이 너무 몰입감이 떨어진다.
뭔가 주위 환경을 조사하거나 연출 등에 의해 플레이어가 스토리를 느낄 수 있도록 하는 것이 아니라, 단서를 보고 주인공이 자기 혼자 해석해서 독백하는 식으로 스토리가 전개되는데, 몰입감이 떨어진다. 그냥 주인공이 혼잣말을 너무 많이 함.

퍼즐 자체도 굉장히 단순하다. 퍼즐을 해결하기 위한 단서도 내가 직접 생각하는 게 아니라 주인공이 다 알려준다. 나는 그냥 필요한 단서에 가서 버튼만 누르고 책 펼쳐보면 주인공이 알아서 다 정리해놓는다^^ 그냥 보물찾기 게임임.

스토리든 퍼즐이든 플레이어가 생각할 부분을 주인공의 독백과 일지로 때워버리니 여러모로 지루한 게임이었음. 그래픽 하나는 마음에 든다.

A good adventure game heavily inspired by Lovecraft.
At first glance, the game does not seem to have a Lovecraftian story, but it definitely has one. The game is slow-paced, and it is frustrating to climb the ladders, but overall, a good story.

Коротенький, но интересный симулятор ходьбы по мотивам произведений Лавкрафта. Есть несколько головоломок разной степени сложности, но в основном надо неспешно бродить по локациям, изучая записки, фрески, фотографии и просто местность. Благодаря знакомству с творчеством Говарда Филлипса, я довольно быстро понял, что примерно происходит, но как повернётся дело к финалу было всё равно интересно посмотреть, и игра в этом плане не подвела. Для тех же, кто Лавкрафта не читал будет, наверное, больше интриги.
Какой-то жуткой атмосферы Call of the Sea нагнетать почти не пытается, как ни странно, но походить поразгадывать тайны острова было занимательно.

If you enjoyed What Remains of Edith Finch, Firewatch, The Witness, etc. You'll like this one.
It also does something I'm really happy to see. It weaves a heavily HP Lovecraftian tale without tons of darkness, tentacles, or a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ green haze over everything. This is refreshing for someone like me who's read just about everything HPL wrote, and a lot of stories by other Mythos authors. This game captures that essence much better than darker, drearier games that try too hard to be "horror".
It looks amazing in 1440 with maxed settings too.

EDIT: This should have won the BAFTA award over Carrion, IMO. Carrion is fun and a good action platformer/Metroidvania, but CotS is just a better game...Unless you really hate "walking sims." Neither bring anything new to their respective genres, but CotS is a better ~10 hour experience.

I dont know man I just wasnt vibing to this game too much. Environments were great but the story is entirely told thru flashbacks and notes and the gameplay is extremely basic. I wished I encountered sea creatures in the game or was able to move things such as in amnesia. It wasnt bad, but firewatch and what remains of edith finch are far superior to this game 4/10

Es ist eines meiner ersten Rätsel spiele die ich gespielt habe und ich muss sagen ich bin sehr positiv überrascht. Ich habe mich voll in diesem Spiel verloren und wollte eigentlich nichts anderes tun aus mehr über die Geschichte der Protagonistin herauszufinden. Es befindet sich wenig Horror in diesem Spiel was ich auch sehr angenehm finde, da ich von dieser Kategorie nicht sehr angetan bin.

Ich kann also jedem dieses Spiel empfehlen, auch als Anfänger in Rätsel Games. Diese waren auch so das ich sie mit Leichtigkeit und etwas Überlegung lösen konnte.

*** Ich dachte vorm Release es sei ein Laufsimulator***

+ wunderschön
+ atemberaubend
+ also ehrlich richtig mega hübsch ^^

Ich stehe auf die Optik des Spiels, aber leider war's das auch schon für mich.
Ich bin ein großer Fan von Eastshade und habe gedacht, dass dieses sehr ähnlich sein wird. Leider wurde ich was das betrifft enttäuscht.

Okay fangen wir ganz von vorne an. Das grafische habe ich deutlich gemacht - mega. Schöne alte Zeit gemischt mit tropischen und mystischen Feeling. Einfach eine Augenweide und würde am liebsten selbst dort sein.

Nun aber zu den Punkten, die mich persönlich störten. Zu viele Bilder und Drück/Dreh hier mal was Rätsel. Ein paar ist ja okay, aber gefühlt bestand jedes davon daraus, dass ich etwas in einer bestimmten Reihenfolge machen musste und dann hatte man auch noch Laufwege ohne Ende innerhalb eines kleinen Radius. Es gab keine Momente des Verweilens durchs Spiel gegeben.

Auch schade fand ich, dass der Weg sehr Linear war. Man konnte nicht mal ungewollt in den Wald abdriften & diesen erkunden. Open World also fehlanzeige, leider, denn gerade, wenn die Welt so hübsch anzusehen ist, würde ich am liebsten ewig darin spazieren gehen.

Umso spannender es wurde umso lästiger fand ich dann die Rätsel und wollte unbedingt mehr von der Story erfahren als die blöden Rätsel zu machen. Ein Rätsel habe ich selbst mit Hilfe von der Lösung , die man Online finden kann, nicht gerafft, wie man auf so etwas kommen soll ohne Blind zu probieren, aber vielleicht hatte ich auch einfach einen schlechten Tag gehabt :D

Noch habe ich das Spiel nicht durch, aber da mich die Story nun mehr reißt als das Gameplay an sich, habe ich mich gespoilert und die Komplettlösung angeschaut, was am Schluss passiert und es wird mich wohl ebenfalls enttäuschen.

ACHTUNG SPOILER:
Am Ende scheint man den gesuchten nicht mal zu begegnen bzw. erfährt wo er aktuell ist und was er macht. Ich hoffe sehr ich irre mich in dem Punkt. Ich werde es aber bald erfahren :)

Eastshade wird wohl auch weiterhin mein Maß aller Dinge sein.

Disappointed.

I was charmed by the game's visuals. But it is just not enough to have a beautiful art direction when the game is that boring.

It is remarkably scarce in terms of good puzzles, all of them are relatively simple and uninspiring. Mostly, it is the same routine: explore the scene to find clues and turn some switches / buttons / something else on and off to get access to the next chapter. Repeat. Basically, it is a walking simulator. And a very bad one. Your character is really slow even with SHIFT, and that's a problem when approximately 80-85% of the game is about moving from point A to point B. Fascinating.

This could be neglected with a great story. Unfortunately, that's not the case. It feels like the story was written by a teenage girl who just recently read 'The best of Lovecraft' and decided to mix her romantic expectations about true love with a newfound concept of mystic and horror. The protagonist is flat and not convincing. 'We decided to tell only truth to each other, no matter how bad it is'. I am sorry, Norah, are you 13?! Needless to say, the final twist is soap-opera cheap. And it harshly violates the basic narrative rule. Show, do not tell.

A few things to mention. You can't change controls for keyboard for some reason. That's irritating. Mouse sensitivity is also weird but that's bearable.

Also, I have to mention that publisher's logo placed on the stone elevator in Chapter 2 is just cringe. It is not even stylized to match other murals on the island. Why, Raw Fury? Do you really believe it is a good Easter egg? It is not.

By the way, I've managed to complete the game twice to see both endings but didn't get the achievement because you have to see the last small cutscene after the credits. And when you are skipping the credits, you are also skipping the cutscene. That's just stupid.

Sadly, I didn't enjoy the game at all. And I am very surprised with 90% of positive reviews.

Très belle expérience que ce Call of the Sea !

Une direction artistique du plus bel effet, une aventure immersive et intéressante qui ne cache pas ses inspirations lovecraftiennes, j'ai beaucoup apprécié l'histoire.
Les énigmes sont un peu trop classiques et ne sont pas très compliquées on y vient assez vite à bout, c'est un peu dommage, je pense qu'elles auraient mérité un peu plus de difficulté.
A noter que le doublage est vraiment bon et participe à l'immersion !

Une belle aventure singulière qui mérite d'être vécue à l'heure où 8 millions de joueurs jouent au même jeu.

Oyunun puzzle'ları gerçekten çok zor yapılmış çok ciddi bir şekilde dikkat istiyor yoksa bir kısmı gözden kaçırdınız mı tekrar her şeyi baştan aramak zorunda kalıyorsunuz.

Overall I recommend playing this game!
If you like short adventure/puzzle games with a story this game is for you.

Wonderfully voiced and charmingly told story about love. (At least I think it is about love)
Also, this game is screenshot material, with a lot of beautiful and mystic places.

Playtime will be roughly 5-8 hours. 100% is actually fun, because of the chapter system.

虽为克苏鲁题材,画风却很清新的解密游戏良作
故事:
故事讲述了身患怪病的女主角来到小岛上,寻找为了给自己的怪病寻找解药而失踪的丈夫的故事。从游戏的名字海的呼唤neta克苏鲁的呼唤,以及克苏鲁风小说中常见的身患怪病的设定。第一时间我便猜测这游戏可能是克苏鲁改遍的游戏。而随着游戏的游玩,我发现,我的猜测是正确的的,
说实话,利用克苏鲁为游戏主题的游戏有过《克苏鲁的呼唤》和《沉没之城》的先例。可惜这两款游戏的制作都不是很令人满意。克苏鲁的故事是灰暗怪异的,而海的呼唤的画风又显得很清新。所以在游玩本作时,我也在担心这款游戏是否能很好驾驭这个题材。
结果令人满意的是,这款游戏制作得很是不错。本作利用女主视角代替男主视角,通过日记,照片等碎片化的叙事方式,避免了对克苏鲁绝望诡异的故事的直接描述,使得游戏的整体画风保持清新。
!!!!剧透警告!!!!最后结局有两个选择,选择回到丈夫身边后。在制作人名单结束后,故事的叙述者一转多年以后的男主,以洛氏小说末尾常用的总结性口吻来进行叙述,很有味!引人思考,如果整个故事以男主视角重新叙述一遍,绝对是一篇很有原作感的克苏鲁风小说。
解密:
本作解密难度偏易。对于每个谜题,玩家调查到相关线索时,女主都会将其记录在笔记中,这是一种变相的提示,玩家只需将女主记下的信息加以利用即可。
可惜的是!!!最后一个谜题有bug!!!本人游玩时,最后一个谜题的最后一个线索女主不会自动记录,需要玩家拍照记下。只有解开谜题后,线索才会记下。或许只是偶然的bug,如果你最后一个谜题卡关了,请记得看天
画面:
虽然是卡通渲染,但是光影效果,贴图材质等等都做的很好。而且优化也不错1050ti也可流畅运行。比某二次元还原神作好了一万倍。
风景很好,截图键已按烂。

Call of the sea is an adventure gem! Brilliant structure, clever challenges and an interesting story. The puzzles of the game are approachable and you can get to the end of the story without the use of a guide (personally I used a guide in 2 different moments but I could have done it without a guide if I had given them a bit more time). The atmosphere, music, graphics and even narrating are beautiful. The game is particularly good on steamdeck. I highly recommend this game!

the story is very linear, and while rather interesting, it feels tedious at times, especially because your walking speed is so slow.

i would instead reccommend reading "the shadow over innsmouth", by HP Lovecraft

Симпатичный визуал. Но скучный и предсказуемый сюжет для любого, минимально знакомого с творчеством Лавкрафта. Скучноватые пазлы, в которых основная цель - не решить задачу с поставленными условиями, а понять, что от тебя хотят. И очень медлительная ходьба.

Ich mag Rätsel an sich sehr gerne, aber die in diesem Spiel haben mich zeitweise sehr frustriert, entweder fand ich sie zu schwierig oder viel zu leicht. Desweiteren muss man, wie ich finde, viel zu viel laufen und das geht für die Strecken eindeutig zu langsam und zieht das Spiel unnötig in die Länge.
Ich habe das Spiel durchgespielt, weil ich dann doch wissen wollte wie die Story zu Ende geht....was soll ich sagen, kann man machen, muss man aber nicht.
Fazit: Meiner Meinung nach hat das Spiel unnötig viel Zeit gekostet und bei eindeutig zu vielen Rätseln brauchte ich eine Komplettlösung, weil es mir schier nicht einleuchten wollte was nun zu tun ist und zum Schluss hatte ich einfach keine Lust mehr die Rätsel in Angriff zu nehmen. Die Story ist ganz ok und hat mich dazu gebracht das Spiel dann doch durchzuspielen.

Puzzles were relatively straightforward, with my only complaint being the few puzzles that required large stretches of walking for each attempt at a solution. Each failed solution feels much worse when you are then forced to walk all the way around the area to reset and try a new attempt.

The journal system is pretty nifty, a good way to highlight what information is important and useful without any immersion breaking highlights.

Music was beautiful, especially the final rendition of My Dear Old Pal at the end.

Good game.

Although the game has some decent qualities (like the visuals and overallatmosphere) I wouldn´t necessarily recommend it.

The downside to this game, in my opinion, is the repetitive nature of some of the puzzles. Especially the puzzle in chapter 6 (no spoilers) dragged on for quite some time and wasn´t all that enjoyable for me. I actually ended up using a walkthrough with solutions because I got bored with it after the first of four parts of the puzzle.

Some might really enjoy walking around and exploring the areas of the game (I love that myself), but sometimes I ended up spending more time walking back and forth than on the actual puzzles because I overlooked a minor detail somewhere. But maybe that´s to be expected from mystery games.

I finished the game so I wouldn´t say it´s bad. But the storyline and puzzles didn´t motivate me as much as I hoped they would.

I give this game a thumbs up because I believe it is an earnest attempt by a small development team to make something special. There are some problems in the execution, but none so bad that I regret spending nine bucks on the experience.

That said, the only group that I can unreservedly recommend Call of the Sea to are those studying game design, as its shortcomings are very instructive.

For puzzle enthusiasts, CotS will likely be a letdown. Because the game consists almost entirely of large environmental puzzles, there are relatively few of them (only 2-3 for each of the six chapters). This low number means the designers struggle to establish credibility in the mind of the player with lots of solid low level puzzles. This credibility is crucial for the harder puzzles, where you need a stumped player to think "I am not understanding something" rather than "the game is illogical."

Further compounding the puzzle problem is that few (if any) of the environmental puzzles include semi-success states, i.e. a point of partial completion where the game acknowledges that you are on the right path, but haven't found the exact right solution. This can be maddening for players who correctly intuited what to do but were off by some fraction, only to throw everything overboard and start down an incorrect path because they had no idea how close they were ( the lens aligner puzzle is a good example of this ). I started consulting partial walk-throughs after Chapter 2 because I wanted verify that I was on the right path with each puzzle, and that's obviously not what you want as a game designer.

Those that play these games primarily for the characters and narrative will also likely have their difficulties. Norah has a knack for stating the plain dumb obvious, which is grating. I understand that for those with certain disabilities, you need the protagonist to say everything out loud, but maybe that shouldn't be the default. The voice characterization is also really frustrating: for a middle class American girl, she speaks neither standard American, nor the Transatlantic accent, but rather an attempt at British RP which makes no sense whatsoever.

The environmental story-telling was also a struggle. The expedition seemed to have a near infinite supply of non-reusable tents that they could deposit all along their path up the island, as well as a surprising number of crates strewn about that would have required immense effort to transport. Despite being in the early years of photography, snapshots are strewn about with abandon, goodness knows how they were developed. They also seemed to just drop their precious audio-recorders wherever they wanted.

Overall the narrative struggled with maintaining credibility. The main story line was fine though I can understand that for some the plot "I was dying of not being a fish person, so my husband laid out an elaborate treasure hunt during which 5 people died in order to trick me into completing my transformation into said fish person" -- is a bit of a stretch . It was mostly the supporting details that fell flat -- the aforementioned environmental story telling and voice characterization -- which meant that plot was often without the support it needed in order to properly suspend disbelief e.g. having the main character blurt out "the barrel of the gun is empty" is absurd and jarring. For reference, in a revolver, the barrel is almost always empty -- what she mean was the cartridge had been fired . In a game that is in large part carried by its narrative, the details matter disproportionately.

All of that said, the island and its temples were stunning. I immensely enjoyed being there. I hope that the developers take the feedback to heart, because I am very much looking forward to their next project =)

Wir schreiben die 1930er Jahre. Norah Everheart leidet seit vielen Jahren an einer Krankheit, die ihre Gesundheit mehr und mehr aufzehrt. Zum Glück sind die Everhearts wohlhabend und als ihr Mann eine Spur für ein Heilmittel in der Karibik entdeckt, organisiert er eine Expedition. Eine Nachricht ist längst überfällig, statt dessen erhält Norah dieses merkwürdige Paket... Sie entschließt sich, nein, wir entschließen uns, trotz unserer Krankheit, in die Karibik zu fahren und Harry zu suchen...

Auch wenn man "Call of the Sea" dem Adventure-Genre zuordnen muss, ist es eigentlich eine interaktive Geschichte mit ein paar Rätseln. Wer nur auf Rätsel-Knacken aus ist, wird vermutlich enttäuscht werden. Wer in die von den Cth'ulhu-Welten von Lovecraft inspirierte Geschichte eintauchen möchte, der kann hier ein schönes Abenteuer erleben. Ganz am Anfang stolperte ich ein wenig mit den Rätseln. Die sind eigentlich nicht schwer, haben aber manchmal eine doppelte Bedeutung, was ich zunächst nicht geahnt und die entsprechenden Hinweise nicht gefunden hatte. Als ich mich auf die Rätselweise eingelassen hatte, konnte ich mich aber gut auf die Geschichte einlassen, die mir sehr gefallen hat. Auch die Weltgestaltung, in einer Art "realistischem Graphic Novel Stil" (um das Wort Comic zu vermeiden) hat mir sehr gefallen.

Ein bisschen Schade fand ich, dass einige Elemente des Spiels scheinbar eine "Nebenwirkung" der verwendeten Unreal-Engine sind. So kann man z.B. viele Objekte detailliert ansehen, drehen und zoomen - benötigt das aber nicht ein einziges Mal. Anderersetis... auch wenn ich alle öffentlichen Achievemnts erreicht habe, fehlen mir 9 versteckte - vielleicht hängen die zum Teil damit zusammen (ich bin aber nicht Achievement-Jäger genug, um danach zu suchen).

Die zehn Stunden Spielzeit sind vermutlich 2-3 Stunden länger als nötig, da ich halt am Anfang ein bisschen mit den Rätseln Schwierigkeiten hatte, das Spiel auch schon mal eine Weile im Hintergrund offen hatte und mir vor allem auch Zeit beim Erkunden und Ansehen der Welt gelassen hatte - was ich allerdings auch jedem Story-Liebhaber empfehlen würde.

Am Ende sollte man übrigens nicht vergessen, zwischenzuspeichern. Es gibt mindestens zwei alternative Enden.

Zusammenfassung:
"Call of the Sea" ist ein Adventure, das den Fokus sehr stark auf die Lovecraft-Story legt. Die Anzahl der Rätsel ist überschaubar, die Qualität aber recht ordentlich (vor allem Kombinations-Rätsel). Wer überlegt, das Spiel zu kaufen, sollte auf jeden Fall Spaß an Story und den (für das Rätsellösen unnötigen) Hintergründen haben. Und Lovecraft-Stories mögen.

C’est lors d’une conférence Microsoft en mai dernier que Call of the Sea s’est montré aux joueurs pour la première fois. Avec son visuel à tomber par terre – ou de sa chaise si on est assis – et son aspect narratif qui rappelle indéniablement Firewatch, le premier jeu du studio Espagnol Out of the Blue a immédiatement attisé la curiosité des amateurs du genre. Après un silence radio de plusieurs mois, le titre refait parler de lui lorsque sa date de sortie est annoncée. Disponible depuis le 8 décembre, une période chargée en sorties en tout genres, est-ce que l’exclusivité de Microsoft a suffisamment d’arguments pour tenir tête aux ténors qui lui font face? Je peux d’ores et déjà vous dire que oui, et qu’il fait désormais partie des noms que je cite lorsqu’on me demande un bon jeu narratif. Mais laissez-moi vous expliquer pourquoi.

Bon jeu d'aventure narratif qui repose beaucoup sur le travail de doublage de l'héroïne et sur la direction artistique, très colorée et assez éloignée de l'ambiance lovecraftienne "classique" (et qui s'explique de par la perception de l'aventurière que l'on incarne pour des raisons que l'on se gardera de révéler même si le voile est levé assez tôt). Les puzzles sont dans l'ensemble assez bien trouvés (munissez-vous d'un papier et d'un stylo, "à l'ancienne") et l'histoire est prenante.

With much regret I cannot recommend this game...

Let me be clear, I LOVE walking simulators. I thought the story was good--once i realized it was Lovecraftian, I saw the ending coming, but that didn't detract from how much I liked it--and the visuals are beautiful (even when I had to lower my graphics) however, there are a few issues that seriously detracted from my enjoyment of the game.

1. For a walking simulator to be good, the WALKING needs to be good. The walking in this game was sooo slow and clunky feeling, I didn't enjoy the actual act of walking around. The main character walking slowly made sense with the story, but that didn't change the fact it was unpleasant as a player. The bad walking contributed to another issue:

2. A few of the puzzles were SO obtuse--if the walking were faster, I wouldn't mind how much back tracking and wandering around I was doing. I would have tried harder to solve the puzzles myself instead of using a guide if I weren't daunted by the idea of having to walk there or redo something.

3. During act 3, I experienced a bug where one of the last buttons I had to press in the chapter stopped working (and it USED to work). Nothing I could do would let me interact with it. I tried all the fixes I could find online, but none of them worked (including reinstalling the game) and found that other people had the same issue and it was never fixed. I ended up having to redo the chapter. When I was already irritated with how slow you move!

TL;DR: Nice story, beautiful visuals, but gameplay was slow, frustrating, and buggy. I think if the speed the character walked was greatly increased, that would fix two of my three issues, and I could recommend the game.

A must-play in my opinion to be perfectly honest. If you want to play a story-rich game with good puzzles included, this is one of the best games you can play right now. 10/10 from me.

Now it's time to give details why I loved this game. This is a slow-paced, atmospheric "Lovecraftian horror" themed game with puzzles. The story is immersive and well written. Atmosphere is perfectly balanced between creepy and intriguing. The soundtrack is amazing. The puzzles are perfectly designed for a game like this. It doesn't take 200 IQ to solve them, but also you need to use some processing power in order to complete them. When I started playing, I hoped to see Lovecraftian creatures or ideas presented to us, however as I played, I understood that this game's story is not necessarily solely based on that. I wouldn't want to spoil the game any further for anyone. Long story short, If you want to play a good story-rich game with few puzzles and you have 5-6 hours to spare, check this gem out!

This game made me physically ill navigating through the game. I was fine on the 1st screen, but got to the island and had to stop playing and deal with the intense nausea that had built up within 10 minutes of island. I changed the graphic setting, windowed the screen. Navigated through the overly simple 1st couple puzzles, and got ill again. This plays like a game from 2005 when we were still figuring out that graphics could cause nausea.the up-down, forward with side to side motion is awful.

The graphics are decent, simple, and the color pallet is off too much yellows and scarlet red. The voice actress, is a bit dull, but the idea of the game. The plot, era, theme is very interesting. I very much wanted to play this game, but and I'm sorry the developers didn't listen to QA when it became obvious that it was nausea inducing.

An absolute pleasure to play. Every puzzle fit the story, the voice acting was flawless, the graphics and environments beautiful. If you enjoy a gentle adventure with some fun puzzles - this is a gem.
Tiny wrinkles... I find the PnC convention of having 'conversational notes' left by people who would never leave such notes... breaks the spell a little - but it's hard to find other ways to convey the story. Also hard to imagine how some of the items would have been carried (won't explain to avoid spoilers) - and other plot points. But the game is so well made that for the most part I didn't care - i could just enjoy the gorgeous scenery. I'm not the best solver, but I managed without a walk-through, in 11 hours. I imagine it could be done quicker. I don't mind that - it works out at less than £1 an hour for good entertainment.
On the plus - the story was good, the controls easy, the puzzles were not ground-breaking, but did put a nice twist in to make them feel fresh and different - and they were seamless. Zero pixel-hunting, zero 'throw away inventory item and immediately need it for next puzzle', none of the usual annoyances. Plus some good variety in scenes and tasks.
I can't wait to see what they do next.

是一个画风清新唯美卡通,叙事+解谜的游戏
解谜内容都不算难,看笔记就完全能自己解开
克苏鲁风格有一点吓人(对于胆小的人来说- - )
玩到最后才发现是一个套着克苏鲁外壳的悲伤爱情故事
游戏有两个结局 (我觉得都是BE..也对应了海之呼唤的主题8)
那么你为了心中挚爱,究竟能付出多少呢

Классная и трогательная история, а так же приятная рисованная графика.
Некоторые загадки немного дотошные, по большей части из за скорости бега героини, но это мелочь.
Главное достоинство игры это все-таки история

Однозначно рекомендую

Bezaubernde (Stimme der Synchronsprecherin von) Nora entführt dich auf eine mysteriöse Reise voller Rätsel und schönen Erinnerungen an die grosse Liebe mit Harry. Um die dunklen Geheimnisse aber zu lüften muss man einige (teils sehr leichte, teils klever ausgedachte) Puzzles lösen. Die Atmosphäre verändert und steigert sich von Kapitel zu Kapitel und mit der passenden Musik taucht man wortwörtlich in eine faszinierende Geschichte ein. Hat meine Erwartung übertroffen. Auch die Grafik wird von Kapitel zu Kapitel spannender und die Unterwasserwelt war einfach wunderschön. Symbolepuzzle vom feinsten.

解密难度不是很大,吸引我的是剧情和美工,按F12就完事了。画风细腻柔美,色彩搭配惊艳。

虽然一开始是因为颜值入的这款游戏,以及上世纪30年代的时代背景,和洛夫克拉夫特式的世界观,但玩到最后被诺拉夫妇的爱情彻底震撼了。

IGN9分作品,“通过吸引人的谜题和故事,呈现了一场带有忧伤色彩的绝佳冒险。”

A rare game that is Lovecraftian but not horror. Beautiful scenery, a serviceable story, and average puzzle design. But I really enjoy the cosmic optimism it conveys, instead of the all-too-common doom and terror.

Mais bordel quelle pépite ! Une direction artistique aux petits oignons, une histoire prenante et des énigmes qui ne se laissent pas faire ! Des jeux de cette qualité la on en veut tout les jours !

Le jeu fait énormément penser à Atlantide l'empire perdu, avec ses graphismes très colorés, son île paradisiaque et son équipe d'explorateur ! La vibes reste présente mais le jeu à son identité propre, son histoire envoûtante, une belle OST, de belles voix et des énigmes qui sont un plaisir à résoudre ! C'est de très belles heures, pleine de magie, ou en prend plein les yeux et plein les oreilles ! Mais bordel quand c'est fini, comme souvent avec ce genre de merveilles, on se retrouve vidé.. Triste de ne pas en avoir plus à se mettre sous la dent ! Mais toutes les bonnes choses ont une fin, et c'est la force de ce genre de durée de vie, savoir condenser suffisement pour ne pas s'étirer inutilement en longueur, qu'aucune minute passée ne soit un supplice (important pour un puzzle game) et que l'on arrive jamais à saturation.

Bon évidemment, comme toujours dans ce genre de jeux, il y'a certaines énigmes qui laissent dubitatives, mais dans l'ensemble, tout est bien pensé, bien amené et logique. Un journal nous permet de suivre la trace de l'histoire entre deux parties. Agrémenté de photos, de dessins et documents ramassés. Ainsi qu'une prise de note automatique des indices récupérés, très pratique et efficaces pour la résolution d'énigmes !

Je recommande énormément à tout ceux qui ont pu adorer Outer Wilds !

Found this to be a very enjoyable, if easy puzzle game. One puzzle wasn't easy- because I'm tone deaf and have a lot of difficulty with music. One puzzle in this game is entirely audio/tone/music based. It's long, and makes you start over from the beginning each time you mess up. It was excruciating and such a disappointment to see in a game released in the last few years- if you were deaf it would be completely unsolvable.

Found the game beautiful, and the plot decent. Like some other reviewers I really disliked that the game doesn't create an autosave at the ending choice point, and it also disallows saving there. I'm not going to play the game again to see the other ending- you're just making me look it up on youtube.

Nora Everheart sets sail on the steamboat, the S.S Caramel after her wayward husband, Harry Everheart, and crew goes missing on an expedition to a strange island 74 miles east of Otaheite. He left in search for a cure for Nora’s strange genetic illness; and after searching for clues he is convinced that somehow, this island is it. Nora arrives, and immediately feels something is... off. There is a reason sailors won’t speak of this island except to warn you away, and it’s time you find out why.

Call of the Sea was such an awesome game, 7+ hours to complete, a good and interesting story with excellent puzzles and plenty of charming characters. A walking sim with gorgeous and colorful environments, and despite the well-deserved Lovecraftian tag, not a horror! 6 replayable chapters, two endings, and a lot of fun discoveries; Call of the sea is absolutely worth playing if anything I’ve written sounded interesting to you.

Da amante dei racconti di Lovecraft ho adorato ogni richiamo alle sue storie che è presente dall'inizio alla fine in questo gioco.

这个游戏让我百感交集,可能是我太感性或者太容易被触动了,总的来说给予玩家选择结局是个不错的办法。也多次为游戏的场景震撼,就是很多地方晃眼睛。感觉就和以前玩过的valley一样,这是一个以剧情为内核,解密算是附赠的(虽然脑子笨在一些地方卡了好久)。下面我来简单的说点感受吧

1.30多G不知道为什么存在的,实际上也没有那么足够多的内容...到底塞了什么进游戏里?

2.最怨念的一点就是,地图大但是女主跑得贼慢,有时候漏了线索啥的就让人反复的在一张大地图东跑西跑,很多时间其实都是浪费在这里,然后爬梯子啥的虽说是为了更有沉浸感?但是爬梯子的操作感觉完全能省略。

3.解密难度只能说真的不难,我就算被卡了好多次卡了好久我都会说不难,因为这个解密的难度取决于是否对上这个游戏的脑回路,你能用来解密的线索基本全在笔记里,能破译笔记上的线索的关联就能很快解出谜题。但是线索真的很容易漏,有些线索要反复跑才能记入笔记,结合第二点就很反人类。

4.我的眼睛是真的受不了那种高亮度的场景,真的很折磨眼睛,要是能不那么亮就好了。

5.剧情方面看到评测说难以理解有点强行,个人感觉还行,个人的理解是因为相爱之深,所以两人才会做出近似疯狂的抉择,倒是古神什么的怎么来的我很迷惑,这个游戏的世界观也是在一个比较克苏鲁的设定下展现的,但是那个古神本身,那个种族本身如何诞生的感觉没有个解释(或许是我漏看了),还有土著是怎么生活下去的其实也很少解释。

6.中文翻译没有什么问题很值得欣慰,不会造成太大的困扰,感谢汉化的工作人员。

---

总评 7.5/10

其实我之前玩的时候总感觉会是什么无法违抗古神的故事,但是制作组给了另一个选择,这样内心也舒服一点(尽管..算了不说了,就比较传统经典的结局)。我觉得唯一,也是最大的诟病,不是解密难度太低内容太少,或者30多G内容就像假的一样,而是女主跑得太慢了场景太大,这些东西很消磨人的耐性,虽然女主语言中也暗示了步骤,但是你要想自己是个大场景的游戏,玩家肯定多数都会自己跑自己的,然后发现缺少线索又屁溜屁溜的跑回去找线索。

冲着剧情和演出我愿意把游戏安利给喜欢走路模拟器偏多的玩家,对于喜欢解密类的玩家可能就要难受了,因为解密的部分偏少还简单,除开一些吓人眼睛的场景,还有东跑西跑的劳累,这游戏还是一个不错的游戏。

クトゥルフを下敷きとした、ファンタジーミステリーな雰囲気です。ディズニー映画に出てくるような爽やかなジャングルを探検しながら、後半は幻想的な世界に踏み込んでいきます。

緊迫感のある場面を挟みつつ、クトゥルフベースなのに心温まる(?)流れでぐっと来ました。「あっち側」になるのも悪くないんじゃないかなと思います。でもどっちのエンディングを選んでも後味の悪さを残すあたりはやはりクトゥルフなのかも…。なお、クトゥルフでおなじみのモチーフが説明なしに出てくるので、まったく知らない人だと消化不良になるかもしれません。

基本的に怖くはなかったです。ジャンプスケアもどきはありますがかなりマイルドです。

〈気になったところ〉
翻訳はちらほら変なところがありますが、進行に影響はありません。
・たまーに、男性口調と女性口調が混ざる
・日本語字幕に韓国語が混じっている:「これは何を意味するのかしら…」くらいの意味なので分からなくても問題ないです
・一箇所、字幕で「便を投げつけた」となっている:「瓶を投げつけた」の誤りかと思います(便を投げつけるほど思い詰めていたと捉えることもできますが、周囲の状況からして瓶でしょう)

〈Steam Deckでのプレイ・2023/5/28時点〉
デフォルト状態だとMicrosoft Runtime C++を求められて起動できませんが、Proton Experimentalにしたら動きます。また、めまぐるしく動くムービーなどでしょっちゅうカクつくのが気になりました。

The call of the sea is a very interesting game. It has a captivating story, that takes place in the early 1900s, and you are on an old fishing ship looking for your lost husband, which is an explorer but has been missing for years. Not only is the story interesting, but the artistic style is akin to Firewatch with breathtaking vistas and color that really pops. At the core this is a puzzle game, however, and even though most of them were fun but a few were frustrating enough that I had to look them up(which broke up how immersive I was into it if im being honest) However the ending did pay off, and for that I would give it an 8.5/10. I paid 10$ for it and honestly I wouldent pay much more than that due to the runtime of only 3-4 hours(unless you want to do a 100% run, which will give you double that time)

A walking simulator with puzzles and a Lovecraftian-themed story.

The overall look is a bit cartoony but it fits the narrative and the setting well.
The music resembles the soundtracks of the adventure movies from the 80s and 90s. It adds significant depth to the overall atmosphere of the game.
The protagonist/narrator does an excellent job, her performance adds a lot to the experience.

Sami na ostrově, nikdo nikde, tajemství a smrt kolem a vy jdete po stopách svého milého. Krok za krokem se přibližujete k odhalení čehosi velkého a na jejím konci se musíte rozhodnout srdcem a nebo rozumem, někdo by mohl říci sobecky či nesobecky. Během toho řešíte netradiční hádanky a vplouváte do nereálného příběhu. Hrála jsem na Twitchi a všechny nás příběh nečekaně vtáhnul, hra je hezky provedená, že se na ní dá příjemně jen dívat a unášet se příběhem ostrova.

Plays great on steam deck!

Although the "walking simulator" aspect of it can be quite annoying, the puzzles and the story makes up for it. The min character will fill in her own thoughts and backstory and she seems believable, not overdone. Some of the puzzles genuinely stumped me because I didn't look around enough, and I like that because it's a reminder to me to slow down and actually look around.

JUEGAZO, sin más.
Te engancha por la historia, por sus bonitos gráficos y por sus puzzles, y cuando crees que es un buen juego pero le falta algo, llega la parte final y se convierte en un juego top.
Me ha dejado ♥♥♥ la misma sensación que al acabar What Remains of Edith Finch, de tristeza pero de haber disfrutado mucho de todo el camino, aunque la diferencia entre ambos es que este es menos lineal y los puzzles a veces te exigen.
Destacar también el magnífico trabajo sonoro, sobre todo las voces de la protagonista.
Muy recomendable para todos los que disfruten de este tipo de juegos, seguro que más de uno se lleva una gratísima sorpresa.
Mi nota: 9/10

Call of the Sea — красивая, атмосферная и местами сложная головоломка.

Она не понравится вам, если:
- у вас аллергия на все инди-проекты;
- вы ждете леденящего кровь лавкрафтовского ужаса;
- вы беситесь, когда игра заставляет вас ходить.

В центре сюжета — девушка, отправившаяся искать своего пропавшего супруга, который, в свою очередь, покинул дом в поисках лекарства от её неизвестной болезни.
Практически сразу вы оказываетесь на живописном острове, полном загадок и тайн.

Загадки местами сложные. Сложность может быть в том, что ты случайно не набредешь на нужное место, пропустишь маленькую деталь. Для меня загадки с символами были ну очень сложными, пришлось где-то пользоваться гайдами, потому что (и это самое обидное) я просто не могла найти логику. Когда ответ есть, а решения не знаешь — это больно. Прямо как для вашей учительницы математики.

Отдельно я бы отметила звуковой дизайн и локации. Они создают потрясающую гармонию и, несмотря на простоту, завораживают.

Я рекомендую это как маленький приключенческий фильм из прошлого века — он не составит конкуренцию многомиллионным боевикам в плане зрелищности и не перевернет вашу жизнь наличием какого-либо глубокого смысла, но сможет погрузить в себя и скрасить пару вечеров.

This game's story was a surprise to me. I was expecting the usual island tropes like King Kong-esque setting, but no this was a very different story and experience than I was expecting. I'm still not understanding all the lore, but I think that is because there is still some mystery around it. I enjoyed the game and the puzzles, I did have trouble towards the end, I knew what I needed to do, but I'm bad at visualizing so those types of puzzles are always difficult for me. The voice acting was really great. The love between Nora and Harry was so evident even though we only ever see letters and hear Nora talk of him. It's storytelling at it's finest with subtle notes and letters. If you think this might be a game you would like that has story and puzzles give this one a try.

Obra maestra de principio a fin.

La historia es misteriosa y te atrapa desde el primer momento en el que pisas la isla donde se desarrolla la trama, los gráficos son muy bonitos y ♥♥♥ una paleta de colores muy cuidada y acertada para cada ocasión y escena.

Los puzzles son complicados y más de una vez te quedarás atascado durante unos cuantos minutos sin saber como proseguir o haciendo pruebas de error y acierto, según avanza el juego los puzzles en mi opinión terminan complicandose más y más.

Me ha sorprendido muy gratamente y es un título que sin duda recomiendo comprar pues la verdad esta muy bien la relación calidad/precio que este producto ofrece.

Call of the Sea est un très joli jeu d'aventure narratif coloré, qui nous offre une relecture originale du mythe de Cthulhu, à travers un thème jamais envisagé par Lovecraft lui-même dans ses nouvelles, car tellement contradictoire avec son propos : l'Amour.

Vous voici donc dans les bottes de Norah, une jeune femme affaiblie par une étrange maladie, qui se lance à la recherche de son mari disparu à la suite d'une expédition sur un île du pacifique, après avoir reçu un étrange colis.

Le jeu, bien que réalisé par une équipe modeste sous Unreal Engine, est une grande réussite, autant artistique que scénaristique. Ainsi, les thèmes récurrents que sont la folie, l'horreur indescriptible, piliers du mythe, sont abordés à travers la réalité de Norah, qui va de pair avec le côté très chatoyant du rendu utilisé pour le jeu. Et malgré ce côté très coloré en apparence, le jeu fait montre de la plus incroyable représentation de l'univers du mythe qu'il m'ait été donné de voir dans un jeu vidéo. Et quelle ambiance !

Pour ce qui est de la construction du jeu en lui-même, chaque chapitre est une zone fermée, au sein de laquelle il faudra progresser au travers d'énigmes pour accéder au chapitre suivant. Certaines sont plus complexes que d'autres, mais au final, le jeu se veut accessible, et Norah dispose d'une journal et d'un carnet de notes qu'elle complète au fur et à mesure de ses découvertes, et de sa compréhension des événements qui se sont produits avant son arrivée, et il y a plusieurs petites choses cachées qui révèlent leur sens une fois l'aventure terminé.

En résumé, un bon jeu pour les amateurs comme pour les profanes, et pour tout ceux qui se laisseront entraîner par l'appel de la mer à travers une jolie, bien que sombre, histoire.

Hikayemiz nesiller boyunca devam etmiş amansız bir hastalığa yakalanan Norah'ın, bu hastalığa çözüm ararken ıssız bir adada kaybolan kocasını aramak için Güney Pasifik'e gitmesiyle başlıyor. Başlarda normal bir vahşi yaşama sahip olan yabani bir ada gibi gözüken bu yer, zaman geçtikçe ve hikaye ilerlemeye başladıkça kendi mistik yapısından bir şeyler göstermeye başlıyor. Gördüğümüz bu mistik şeylerin hastalığımızla olan alakasını anlamaya başladıkça da hem kocamızın nerede olduğunu hem de kendi gerçekliğimiz hakkında daha fazla şey öğrenmeye başlıyoruz.

Uzun zamandır kütüphanemde duran ve ne yalan söyleyeyim ki hiçbir şekilde merak etmediğim bu oyunun gerçekten damağımda güzel bir tad bıraktığını söylemeliyim. Gerek hikayesi gerekse de optimizasyonuyla güzel bir deneyim yaşatıyor Call of the Sea. Bulmacalarının zor ve ödüllendirici olması, benim gibi hiçbir rehbere bakmadan bulmaca çözen insanları inanılmaz derecede tatmin ediyor. Özellikle ki birkaç bölümün bulmacası çok güzel hazırlanmıştı. Seslendirmeler ve karakter tasarımını da beğendiğimi söyleyebilirim. Biliyorsunuz ki bu dönemlerde bu tarz oyunların tamamı seslendirilmiyor. Ayrıca gizli öğelerin de oyun içerisinde güzel konumlandırılması da bir artı.

Artı Yönler:
+Güzel bir hikaye. Keşif oyunu olduğu için odağının büyük bir kısmını doğal olarak hikayeye yansıtıyor. Bu da ayrıntılı ve yavaşça işlenen bir hikaye oluşturuyor. Ayrıca oyun içerisindeki günlük mekaniğiyle, kaçırdığınız herhangi bir hikaye bölümü olup olmadığını da kontrol edebiliyorsunuz.

+Karakterler yukarıda da bahsettiğim gibi hem güzel tasarlanmış hem de iyi bir seslendirme yapılmış.

+Grafikler gerçekten muazzam. Yüksek bir sistem gereksinimi istese de optimizasyon akıcıydı.

+Bulmacalar cidden akıllıcaydı. Rehbere bakmadan hepsini kısa bir süre içerisinde çözdüğüm için kendimle gurur duyuyorum .d

+Başarımlarını tamamlamak çok kolay ve chapter selection sistemi ile replay'ı mümkün kılıyor.

Eksi Yönler:
-Oyun, mekanik anlamda tatmin olmak isteyen arkadaşları pek tatmin etmeyecektir maalesef ki. Sadece yürüme simülasyonu bile diyebiliriz.

-Keşif oyunu olmasından kaynaklansa da bazı animasyonlar gereksiz derecede yavaş. Bir sahnede bir hata yaparsanız ve o sahnede merdiven varsa yandınız demektir. Sevgili Norah ay yörüngesine oturur gibi merdivene çıktığı için yeniden oynama deneyiminizde kanser olabiliyorsunuz.

Sonuç olarak tavsiye edebileceğim bir yapım olduğunu belirteyim. Kendi fiyatına almaya değse de indirimi beklerseniz çok şey kaçırmazsınız.

Una historia interesante que nos lleva a tomar decisiones difíciles. ♥♥♥ un apartado bello y una trama interesante, que nos lleva por una aventura breve, embebida en mitología polinesia y un poco de Lovecraft, donde nuestra protagonista descubrirá la verdad sobre sí misma, su esposo y la decisión final que tendrá que tomar.
En algunos casos, los puzzles que el juego nos obliga a resolver para avanzar en la historia, son bastante tediosos y poco intuitivos, lo cual termina por fastidiar a los jugadores y romper el encanto del juego.
En lineas generales, el juego prometía bastante, pero creo que quedó a medio camino, volviéndose innecesariamente complejo ♥♥♥ sus puzzles y ♥♥♥ un final que no termina por satisfacer.
Me quedaron varios logros por conseguir, pero el juego y su mecánica, no me hace apetecible rejugarlo. Le doy 7/10. Lo recomiendo únicamente ♥♥♥ rebaja.

Quel beau jeu que ce Call of the Sea !

Celui-ci nous place dans la peau d'une jeune femme, dont le mari est parti en expédition sur une mystérieuse île, afin de trouver un remède censé guérir la maladie incurable de sa femme. Sans nouvelle de celui-ci, notre héroïne décide d'entamer un voyage afin de le retrouver. On se retrouve ainsi au cœur de cette île inhabitée, aux commandes de cette jeune femme à la recherche de son bien-aimé.
On découvrira au fur et à mesure de l'aventure le déroulé de l'expédition, à travers de nombreux points d'intérêts, notes et photos.

Si le gameplay n'est pas forcément d'une originalité exceptionnelle, l'ensemble et pour autant très bien mené. Nous avançons, découvrons de nouveaux lieux, explorons ceux-ci afin de recueillir des informations (notées par l'héroïne dans son journal) pour ensuite résoudre des énigmes et progresser. Et tout fonctionne très bien, avec notamment des énigmes qui, si elles ne sont pas forcément d'une grande complexité, reste totalement logiques dans leur exécution. La progression est donc fluide et on prend plaisir à découvrir le scénario à travers les éléments trouvés dans les différents environnements ainsi qu'au travers des pensées du personnage, recueillies dans son journal. Une histoire qui se conclue d'ailleurs de très belle manière, pour un final émouvant et touchant.

La véritable force du jeu tient selon moi dans ses environnements variés et dans la réelle pâte artistique (je dis bien artistique, et non technique) qui y règne. Chaque nouveau lieu à découvrir est une véritable claque, tant les effets de lumières, les couleurs vives et les nombreux détails peuvent nous éblouir. Mention spéciale également à la bande son, qui propose de très beaux thèmes, que l'on aurait pu trouver dans de grands films d'aventure.

La durée de vie du jeu n'est elle, pas phénoménale (entre 4 et 5h pour arriver au bout de l'aventure) en rapport avec son prix actuel de 20€. Cependant, je ne peux que recommander le titre, dans l'expérience est belle, que ce soit graphiquement, musicalement ou d'un point de vue narratif.

這是一款故事性 語音 音樂 畫面 系統都上佳的遊戲!
遊戲雖然由此之終一個人都沒有
但氣氛仿造的非常好! 光線 音效等等
加上第一人稱視角的原因吧
我就是從開始怕到結束!
最讓我害怕就是第三章了吧
又黑又打雷 室內燈光一閃一閃

遊戲的故事是女主去小島找自己失蹤的老公下落
每次與物件交互 都有語音點評
物件的旋轉還有部分照片後面是有文字的
走到部分場景也有語音獨白
讓大家知道女主的想法 或者補充故事內容
我覺得這語音非常好 感情豐富 讓人代入感極高
第六章最後那一段無法奔跑 慢慢的走然後揭開真相
那段故事和語音都是高潮所在

最後竟然還有兩個結局
根據最後不同的選擇 走向不同的結局 劇情也有點小不同
然後謝幕的LIST裡 故事也不一樣
那邊一定要好好聽完
外加女主唱歌真好聽呢...

通關後可以再按個別章節重新開始
已收集的日記和線索並不會消失
很方便收集全成就 不用從頭再跑
不看攻略的第一輪
無論你怎麼仔細應該還是會漏掉一些東西的
不過雖然可選個別章節 已開日記和線索都會保存
但關鍵物品收集或劇情交互流程還是要走的

這遊戲的場景都做得非常好
美麗的小島 物件的小細節 不同場景的光線
森林 荒漠 大海
美麗 恐怖 壯觀
我覺得各種場景都讓人嘆為觀止
切換至在海中 和海中順流的觀光都體驗極好
這遊戲的壁畫和造字我都覺得很有意思

這遊戲太棒了 原價也很值得

I'll admit that I came in expecting something different. I was hoping for more of a pulpy mystery in the South Pacific, which this isn't. Instead, it's yet another spin on a very, very well-trod H.P. Lovecraft story, which would be fine if it did something new and interesting with the story. But for the most part, it just doesn't.

Within the first 10 minutes, I had guessed about 80% of the major story beats. While there were a few lovely touches within the script, especially as acted by Cissy Jones and Yuri Lowenthal, neither that nor the gorgeous art are enough to salvage this game. And the puzzles don't help much, either, swinging wildly between far too easy and one or two baffling ones. One of them also, a musical puzzle, is not set up to accommodate people with hearing loss, so that's a problem, too.

If you haven't been exposed to Lovecraft's work much, whether in print, film, or games, then go ahead with this one. Same if you're much, much more interested in the visuals than the story. But if you'd like something that tackles some very similar subject matter in a way that really does something new with it, I'd instead recommend the book Winter's Tide by Ruthanna Emrys.

Wow! What an absolutely gorgeous ride. Half of it is like playing through a colourful and expensive theme park attraction, while the other half is very much not that, and I adored every minute

It looked pretty and I was after something short and sweet. I was expecting some simplistic puzzles, a couple of basic setpieces and little else. It really looked like the sort of game where you don't even move and puzzle boxes just unfold in front of you to solve, I really wasn't expecting much

What I got was a solid 7 hours of being constantly awestruck. The ruins are breathtaking and complex, the water is beautiful, the colours and lighting enhance everything so strongly, the puzzles are well designed (some gentle frustration but I always got through without help) and the journal notes down everything in as much detail as you need

The story is light but heavy at the same time, I didn't think I was invested, but I was and didn't realise it.

It's a good balance, it's linear with free exploration within each section, you don't move very fast and there's no jump button but there never feels like there should be a reason the game should be changed to be otherwise.

Сначала игра привлекает яркими красками тропического острова, а потом ещё и Лавкрафт начинается. Загадки логичны и вплетены в повествование. Важные детали автоматически зарисовываются в дневник.

너무 그래픽이 맘에 들어서 해보고 싶었는데
스토리도 정말 좋았고 연출도 괜찮았는데 최적화는 살짝 아쉬웠는지 중간중간 좀 끊김이 있긴 했숴요
주말 재밌게 진득하니 겜하고 엔딩도 다 보고 했네욤 ㅎㅎ
dlc 나올 건덕지가 있나? 너무 엔딩이 깔끔하게 끝나서 그래도 몬가 이 세계관으로 2편이나 다른거 나와줬으면 좋겠따는 그런 생각! 진짜 최근에 한 게임 중에 제일 재밌었어요!

Schönes Spiel!

Es wirkte zuerst ein wenig oberflächlich auf mich, habe mich aber von Chtulhu-Kommentar ansprechen lassen. Die Geschichte fängt langsam an, wird aber sehr schnell interessant und man möchte wirklich mehr wissen, so dass das Spiel einen in seinen Bann zieht. Es ist optisch sehr schön und rückt den Mythos mal in ein anderes, bunteres Licht.

Sehr zu empfehlen!

A bittersweet story and a beautiful game! Loved the visuals and the characters, the voice actors were great. The puzzles were really fun, not super hard but also not downright easy. There were some parts that got a bit spooky for me, but I'm a big scaredy-cat, so overall it's pretty tame on the "scary" bits.

Call of the Sea is one of those games that you play in awe because the visuals and pastel colors are so beautiful that it immerses you immediately.

Game's general style can be described with Firewatch, Vanishing of Ethan Carter or Annapurna-like style games. Since In The Valley of Gods got sacked by Valve/Campo Santo, Out of the Blue might as well fill that area easily with their talent because this it the closest we can get. They did a stellar job.

There's a lot of walking and narrative talking but when Cissy Jones voice acting the main character, that's not a problem but instead a pleasure. You may remember her from Firewatch as Delilah. Animations, art style, music and Lovecraftian story is actually fascinating and it got pretty gloomy at the end. Puzzles weren't incredibly hard and I liked that personally since hard puzzles actually irritates the player, or me, and breaks the immersion. Game looks incredible in some areas and it's soothing to listen the rain while slowly walking, puzzle solving and let the story unfolds. Liked it very much.

Harry and Norah's love coincided with Valentine's Day and left me kind of empty. The song at the end was a perfect touch.

Out of the Blue did a wonderful job and I personally will follow them for their next project. Recommended.

P.S.: I personally thank to developers and publisher for a wonderful regional pricing as well.

Nice game.

Through jungles, relic remains, shipwrecks, underwater sea worlds - the content is much richer than I had expected, and the color is stunning. Not sure what filter this game applies, but the bright color for the jungle, the light changing when walking from sun to shades really catches my eyes in the first chapter, and I could watch those shining pond water all day. Great job for graphics, even though I only have 1600 x 900 resolution, still eye candy.

The puzzle does not bring me much trouble - Not many things to pick up, the game focuses more on the logic for solutions. With the help of the logs puzzles are not challenging yet not too easy. I did use a guide for 1-2 particular puzzles, but overall those did not require much of the time or running around.

Along the way there are notes and recorders trying to tell what had happened. The main goal is to find the lost husband, who looks for a cure to save his wife aka the protagonist. I enjoy all the peculiar scenery the wife sees along the way, her transform into a aqua man with hands like duck webs exploring undersea, the sudden teleport into a desert with giant unknown creatures' bones, and the mystery house at the end of the road reminds me of the tea shop in Under the Whispering Door Book by TJ Klune... This game has a Lovecraft feeling, I keep guessing possibilities even suggesting the wife has died already. I do not find any horror parts. Instead, player get to choose the fate of the wife at the end. I am very satisfied with my choice, which is a beautiful love story. It writes: the "In real life, true love stories don't end with a wedding. They end with a funeral. And the only thing that eases that final moment of heartbreaking sadness are all the good memories lived together" How lovely. I copied the lines down to my notebook.

The only thing that might be improved goes to the voice acting. The story has full audio, the ending is quite unexpected and emotional. Player goes on long stairs and interacts with different objects, while the protagonist gives a comment - I find the voice contains the emotion too strongly. It is a bit over reacting.

То чувство, когда творчество Лавкрафта использовали в качестве основы не к очередному "спрячься от монстра, а не то тобi пiздa" хоррору, а к трогательной истории любви, где целью ставится хоть и ложь - но во спасение. И данная история обходится без излишней патоки и розовых соплей, что меня - как противника подобной подачи в духе (не)тленных мелодрам с канала "Россия" - безусловно радует. А яркий визуальный стиль всё это без сомнения дополняет и украшает, заставляя забывать даже о головоломках, некоторые из которых являются, ммм, не очень очевидными. Но и не суперсложными, так что всё норм. Посетовать бы хотелось ещё на небольшую продолжительность игры - но всё же не буду. Мне понравилось.

Incredible visuals from start to end, challenging and engaging puzzles that leave you quite satisfied with yourself when you find the find the solutions.

The sheer amount of voice acting and lore behind the game felt impressive, yet not all over the place.

A solid immersive game, a bit predictable as a whole, but a great narrative experience.

The story and visuals are the best part of this game. Movement is unbearably slow, sprint speed feels like what you should move at minimum, which becomes a huge problem when you have to backtrack frequently. The puzzles themselves are a mix match. They are interesting but have a huge problem of giving you absolutely no clues about how you are supposed to solve the puzzle. Being forced to guess until you figure out how the puzzles pieces match each other.

I covered this game as part of my coverage of the Humble Choice for June 2022

A puzzle game set on an island.

Call of the Sea is a puzzle game that also feels like it’s a bit of a walking simulator. Players will explore an island, finding tons of small items to pick up and investigate. Many of which are involved in elaborate puzzles. Truthfully I only was able to solve two or three puzzles during my time with the title, but all of them were solid, with the third one taking the majority of the time.

The issue with Call of the Sea is the puzzle I got stuck on, stumped me for a long time, however after getting a single hint, it all clicked into place, but that was after about twenty to thirty minutes. I found one solution but there’s another explanation for it, and I appreciate that, but I can also see this game will challenge players.

It’s the writing and voice acting that deserve a special mention because this is a compelling story from the first hour and I want to see where it goes. There are a few tropes involved, but there’s also a lot of mystery and intrigue.

Pick this up if you like challenging puzzle games and solid stories. This feels like an absolute hit with the understanding the puzzles might be extremely hard to solve, but good puzzle games will be somewhere on the scale between challenging and obscure, and I think this was more about difficulty so far than poorly designed puzzles.

I’m planning on coming back to this as soon as possible.

手に謎の斑点ができる病気を患ったノラを救うため、夫ハリーはある島へ向かう。しかししばらく経っても帰ってこない夫を心配したノラは彼を追って単身島に上陸、そこで夫の残した足跡を追いながら島と自身の病の秘密を解き明かしていく。一人称アドベンチャーゲーム。

パズルゲームに分類されているが、パズルというより謎解きに近く、想像や発想というよりは情報整理が大事になってくる。謎解きの難易度は非常に優しく、マップに散在する情報を一通り集めれば自然と謎が解けていくような作りになっており、また集めた情報の管理は全てゲーム側でやってくれるので暗記やスクリーンショットの必要がなく、プレイヤーフレンドリーなシステムになっている。

なので本作は謎解きよりもアドベンチャー要素が中心となってくる。ノラの病気の正体や先に島に来ていた夫ハリーとその一団の運命を、彼らが残したメモを辿りながら明かしていくストーリーは面白く、また人ならざるものが作った巨大建造物や機械的なギミック、それらと島の自然とのコントラストが美しい神話的な作品となっている。

あくまでパズル目的ではなくアドベンチャーゲームとして購入するする分には悪くない良作。ボリュームは一周4時間ほど、その後ガイドを見ながら全実績解除に+2時間ほど。ただし操作性はやや悪く、視界の移動にぎこちなさがあるので画面を凝視していると酔いやすいので注意が必要。

This is an average puzzle game, buried under horrible gameplay ergonomics.

Consider these three aspects:
1. explicit puzzle design (what information is supplied/withheld, how do we apply that, and to what goal)
2. layout design and mechanics (where physically is information provided, where are interactions to action on the puzzle, relative to each other and the space)
3. and character movement (how do we move between points of interest/interaction as we resolve this puzzle)

In Call of the Sea, it's as if these were all implemented completely independently of each other with no coordination, communication, or care, towards their synergy.

There's nothing explicitly wrong with the implementation of any one of these individually, but they come together in such ridiculous dissonance that the over-all experience is more like brief moments of intrigue connected by long slogs of tedium and frustration (and not the good kind of puzzle frustration, just superficial mechanical frustration).

The layout and movement could be forgiven, if the actual concrete puzzle-design was particularly unique, interesting, or satisfying. Unfortunately the puzzles were average at best (and to be fair, at worst too), nothing intellectually unfair nor unreasonable leaps in logic, but nothing particularly intellectually interesting (there were puzzles that seemed just a few design decisions away from escaping mundanity into something more interesting but it never quite took).

The story is fairly mundane but breaks into vaguely interesting with some really beautiful set-pieces reasonably strung throughout each chapter to support the narrative, with beautiful world-design throughout each chapter. Unfortunately these positives are juxtaposed against some really mediocre dialogue, though i'm not as turned off by that as I am everything else.

I just can't recommend this game, in a lot of ways it seems really close to being a great experience, but there are too many substantial shortcomings, and so many other great puzzle experiences out there, that I can't really justify the time one would spend.

Lo recomiendo por muchas razones, el aspecto artístico es fantástico, gráficos, música, interpretación .. la isla es simplemente preciosa. La mecánica del juego es muy interesante, si te gustan los puzles y los enigmas desde luego este es tu juego. Yo me he quedado atascada unas cuentas veces pero dándole vueltas se acaba sacando porque todos tienen sentido y mantienen coherencia ♥♥♥ el contexto.

Y la historia es lo mejor de todo, lo acabo de terminar y estoy emocionada.
Qué gran juego y sobre todo que gran historia.

在海洋小岛上漫步——Call of the Sea 体验

介绍

游戏是个剧情驱动型的解谜游戏,以第一人称视角进行游戏,随着游戏进度的推进逐渐发掘更多的线索和剧情,最终解开重重谜题。故事背景设定在上世纪三十年代的南太平洋中的一个神秘小岛上,世界观设定更偏向神话体系而非写实世界观。

]碎碎念

解密游戏并不是本人经常玩的游戏类型,所以就从几点游戏体验过程的碎碎念展开说一下。1. 游戏画面初看很不错,毕竟是虚幻 4 引擎制作的,整体画面表现上来说很不错,特别适合截图。但是,整个光影调教、色彩和画面对比度,可以说有点微妙了。整个画面太过艳丽饱和,常常半个小时玩下来就感觉眼镜特别疲惫,而且从暗处场景转移到明亮处场景,会突然的整体画面高亮,体验不是很好。过于鲜艳的画面表现也让不容易晕 3D 的人感觉有点晕晕的;

2. 游戏容量着实不小了,磁盘占用 30 多 G ,虽然整体地图够大场景细节也够多,但是真正能交互的或者说玩家能感知到的部分其实不算很多,不知道这么大的容量是干嘛的;

3. 游戏地图够大,但是主角走路的速度是真的够慢,虽然设定上女主因为身体原因,走路本来就很慢,而且游戏中也有快走。但是感觉上快走的速度也就和其他游戏中的正常速度差不多,急性子玩家可能要有点耐心了;4. 既然是解密游戏,说说解密部分吧。个人感觉,整体解密部分足够有趣而且难度不高。大部分需要的线索都在笔记本和主角絮絮叨叨中就能找到,不足之处就在于,地图大而主角走路太慢了!有时候漏了什么线索就需要来来回回好几次,整个人都要奔溃了!5. 游戏剧情和解密的安排有点奇怪,感觉更加偏向一个「小说」而不是解密。整体解密部分难度低,而且多数就是切换场景才会出现,完全感觉不到在推进剧情中的作用,个人感觉还不错不过喜欢解密的朋友可能会有小小的失望了。

Very pretty, but I'd compare this game to a theme park ride more than a puzzle-focused game. Not what I was looking for/expecting.

The narrative is spoonfed to you just in case you missed their very heavy-handed foreshadowing the first five times. Hardest part of the puzzles is finding all the pieces of paper or writing lying around so that Norah can take note of them in the clues journal, then solving almost every puzzle in the game is a matter of matching the correct shapes to correct positions/other shapes. I kept playing past the 2hr mark in the hope that the puzzles would get more engaging, but they only got marginally more difficult.

Je n'ai jamais réussi à entrer dedans. La narration à la première n'est pas très réussie et me sors du jeu. La protagoniste/narratrice parle en permanence avec un ton détaché qui nuit réellement à l'immersion et m'a empêché d'adhérer à l'intrigue. Dommage... Cependant, ceux qui arrivent à ne se concentrer que sur les énigmes et la D.A apprécieront peut-être.

嗑到了磕到了。本以为是冒险片,画风突变成科幻片,本以为是科幻片,到头来本质还是爱情片。
画风清新,景致唯美,小岛的探索过程沉浸感十足。唯一缺点是章节之间转场略显生硬。解密还是挺不容易的,不过其难度并不体现在谜面本身,而是解密线索分散在地图四处,得先把每章节整个地图摸索得差不多了才有足够材料开始慢慢推断。与以往解密游戏那种目标明确、循序渐进、步步为营不太一样。山顶壁画图案类似偏旁部首拼出意象的解密印象很深刻,完美地把字体发展、人鱼文化、小岛起源等元素融合在一起。
现实生活并不像童话故事描绘的结局一般——他们结婚了,从此幸福地生活在了一起。“幸福地生活在了一起”之后,事情的发展往往没有那么简单。“葬礼才是这些故事最终的结局。”也许真正的爱意就是包容、理解甚至放手,给予对方(选择的)自由。

This is a fantastic game for lovers of adventure puzzle games with eerie atmosphere and extremely rich story. The graphics are stunning, the voice acting is exceptional, the soundtrack is evocative and beautiful. The puzzles are very accessible while still being engaging and they feel well-integrated into the world of the game. It took me about 8 hours total to beat the first time, and although I don't normally replay games for 100% completion, I'm tempted to go back in to look for the items listed in the chapter menu that I missed.

This was a real toss up for me. I both loved and hated it at the same time.
Loved:

Great story, good voice acting.

Graphics really nice.

I liked the two ending choices.

I kept returning to play in spite of problems I had with the game.

Hated:

The choppy visuals when turning the camera. It may be my fault for loading the game on my HD instead of my SSD. But it was really annoying. I tried all the suggested "fixes", but nothing helped.

I got stuck in 3 pieces of scenery and had to replay certain chapters to get out.

The Save Game system confused me. The time stamps on each save slot were not in chronological order. At least that's how it appeared to me. I wasn't alway certain I was saving to or returning to the right saved game. At times, the game added text next to the game that was current, but not always.

The puzzles were too hard for me. I guess I shouldn't complain about that, but I ended up watching a walk through youtube so I could finish and find out how it ends.

Certain puzzles didn't respond to my mouse pointer at times. I'm really not sure if that was intentional, but I doubt it cause the puzzles were allowing clicks in weird places on a puzzle but not allowing clicks on what I think were intended places. Until I realized this, I had to replay two chapters to get by a non-responsive puzzle.

All the time playing I thought I'd give the game one star out of five due to the issues I had. Then at the end, I liked the last two chapters so much, I got generous and thought three stars. And I wasn't going to recommend it....but at the last minute I am, because I realize many people won't have the issues I did, and without them the game is great. Without those issues, I would give it 4.5 stars out of 5.

Зов Моря стоит внимания, потому что это Лавкрафтовская история, но не такая, к каким мы все привыкли. Она яркая и красочная, она не пугает и пытается задавить безумием. Зов Моря о любви!

My review is in English and in Spanish:
Mi revisión es en Inglés y en Español

This game is absolutely stunning. The story is very rich and engaging. The details, graphics, mechanics, interactions, and atmosphere all combined made me feel like I 'm part of the story. This game was developed with a lot of thought and care and it shows in all the chapters. The puzzles and clues are very unique and challenging and I'm having fun discovering it all. The game has achievements which is great cause it lets players know that we are advancing in the game and what we might be missing so we can get complete it so that we can solve the puzzles. The game also offers auto saving, so returning to play where you left off is easy. I'm still enjoying the game but, already can say that I don't want it to end. Will love to see Steam Trading Cards to create Profile Badges. Stickers, Emoticons and Profile Backgrounds because the game is beautiful and the artist responsible for it will definitely create something really special that we would all enjoy. I love, love, love this game and it's not just a girls game I think guys will love it as well especially the sea monster and adventure element. This game is worth every penny! <3

The only game ♥♥♥♥ : The protagonist name isn't my name Rose :( haha <3

🌹 Revision en Español:
Este juego es visualmente hermoso. Te envuelve en la rica e interesante historia.. Los detalles, graficas, mecanismos, inreraccion y atmosfera me hacen sentir que soy parte de la historia. Este juego fue hecho tomando muchos cuidados y siempre pensando en como darnos la mejor experiencia en todos los capitulos. Los rompecabezas son unicos, complejos e intricantes y me estoy divirtiendo descubriendolos. El juego tiene estampas de logros que te dejan saber tu avanze en el juego o que no haz aun descubierto para que puedas completar los rompecabezas. Ofreze tambien salvar tu progreso que hace facil regresar al punto donde estabas cuando pausas el juego. Aun no he completado todo el juego pero no quiero que se termine. Seria genial si ofrecen Tarjetas para hacer placas en el perfil, calcomanias, Perfiles de fondo y emoticones. Pienso que el artista responsable por los dibujos del juego creara algo hermoso que nos gustara a todos. Yo amo, amo, amo este juego y pienso que no solo las chicas pero alos chicos les encantara la historia tambien por los elemento de aventura y el monstro del mar. El precio de este juego es apropiado. <3

Contras del juego: Que la protagonista no se llama Rose como yo. :( Jaja <3

Not bad, not great. Puzzles are fairly obvious. Voice acting is pretty good and the story is mostly interesting but ends poorly. I probably would not have finished the game if it were any longer.

bueno....

el juego trae bastantes recuerdos a aquellos de hidden object, se cuenta igual. Los escenarios son bastante bonitos, pero los puzzles son muy absurdos, no se que cabeza los ha diseñado pero a veces las notas y el diario no sirven para nada y es probar de forma random hasta que funciona.

tiene un grabe bug, en muchos puzzles puedes pulsarlo desde detras de tal forma que el personaje se teleporta delante quedando bloqueado en el suelo y por supuesto cuando cierras el juego hace save y este se pisa xD

si quiero completarlo tendre que buscar un save....

A pretty game with a decent story but very SLOW walking simulator dependent on clicking every little thing you come across. If you miss a puzzle clue, then you have to WALK all the way back over to find it or you can often not complete the puzzle.

PRO TIP: turn off head bob and motion blur from the start... your head and eyes will thank you.

Красивая сказочная игра, ставящая под вопрос жизненный путь каждого человека, быть верным себе и уйти в самопознание, или же быть верным второй половинке и отказаться от своих каких то жизненных целей. Очень советую тем, кто любит несложные головоломки и при этом интересный сюжет с удивительными локациями и обстановкой. Без преувеличение могу сказать что игра достойна и большей стоимости.

The story was kinda bad. Norah was slow to control, even when sprinting. Multiple times did the game not register clues and not write them down in the journal. To fix that I had to follow online guides. Some of the puzzles didnt make much sense. Multiple times the game crashed because it got stuck on a ladder or geometry on the ground. The end decision made little sense and felt rushed. Norah was annoying to listen to because she figured things out extremely slowely or was suprised about things that werent suprising. Multiple times I had lighting issues and I couldnt see anything I was supposed to. The game is very pretty but it certainly has issues.

If I were to rate the game out of 10, it would be a 3.5 . Cool idea but very poor execution. This game would greatly benefit from better controls, better puzzles, and faster animations.

一直很喜欢玩解密类,但是之前玩过的都是2D版本,这次玩一玩这个3D版本。背景音乐很柔美,画风很唯美,解密也是要结合很多线索,堪比玩了个单人版本的大型密室逃脱,就是主角的移动速度有点慢,导致我小拇指按shift快按麻了。
有剧透: 游戏的双结局我感觉都很令人感伤,要么生离要么死别,哈里先生还是孤独终老,但是真的要选一个的话,可能生离要好一点吧,毕竟虽然永远见不到了,但是知道对方在世界上某一个地方自由的活着要比眼睁睁的看着一生挚友兼爱人的生命渐渐消逝要好吧。

Was expecting more of a 3D puzzle game but it was a point and click adventure/ walking sim, light on the puzzles but the mechanics included were good.
Very linear structure which was nice so I didn't feel lost, I always knew that what I needed to look for was in a set area.
Puzzles gave a great balance between not telling you the answer but also giving enough pushes in the right direction to prevent frustration.
Even if the puzzles or narrative was just an excuse to drag you through the setting it is totally worth it, because the visuals are top notch!
Much like Super Mario Sunshine you can just take a moment to appreciate a really nice view or impressive landscape and that is really the best thing this game has to offer.
Audio could use some work since most of the game feels completely silent. Some areas have ambient sound which is nice to not break immersion, and there is some canned music for a few transitional cutscenes, but it feels lacking like some good audio would really tie the experience together.

Un juego de exploración, resolución de puzzles y una gran historia.
Desde el principio se ve llegar una aventura, jugaremos como Norah una exploradora que buscará desesperadamente a su marido Harry, que por amor fue a una misteriosa isla que al parecer esta relacionada ♥♥♥ su enfermedad pero de la que nadie quiere hablar...

Estéticamente es un juego bonito (aunque no tenga unos gráficos increíbles el juego es pesado y no cualquier gráfica lo soporta), al principio los puzzles son demasiado sencillos, pero no te confíes porque a cada capítulo se vuelven más difíciles y quizás tendrás que interpretarlos de otra manera.
La historia de la isla es lo mejor del juego teniendo ganas de seguir descubriendo más y ell final puede ser difícil de aceptar sacándote alguna que otra lágrima.

Ouch. I feel this is 20 bucks wasted. The game itself seems quite interesting and the puzzles and the story are fun, but the extremely choppy mouse movement sucks the fun out of the game completely. Not sure what's up with this, but lower the mouse sensitivity in the game and then slowly try to move the camera. It's sooo choppy. This happens with mouse smoothing on and off. The issue is known. Here's a post from the forums: "Mouse accel similar to deadzones on gamepads. Game doesnt register micro mouse movements." and "Trying to put crosshair on a precise location and it wont budge - will only move on big motions."

If movement is a burden in a game where to have to move and look around a lot, it doesn't matter how good the rest of the game is. It becomes unplayable.

主人公の感情に共感できなかったというか、ふわふわしてるのに変化が激しくてよく理解できないまま終わってしまいストーリーは理解できたけど他人事のように感じてしまった。
もう一つの中身であるパズルはというと、出来は悪くないけど素晴らしいともいえずオススメとまではいかなかった
50%(ストーリー)が微妙で残りの50%(パズル)が平均ちょっと上くらいなので万人にオススメはできません。

とは言え、休日に特にやることなくて見たくもない映画をテレビで見るよりは確実に楽しいのでそんな人やパズルアドベンチャー好きの人にはオススメします。

Having gone from Sable to this game, I could immediately tell that this was made by the same people behind Sable. The atmosphere and art design are certainly well-crafted, but that's about where my compliments end. The puzzles can be tedious, with some having you run across the entire map to solve them, and some that are a bit too obscure to intuit the answer for, especially after Level 2, making them much more of a chore than they need to be. The writing is also pretty underwhelming, with a story that's easy to predict if you have a passing familiarity with Lovecraft lore (or with stories based on Lovecraft lore), and character writing that leaves something to be desired. I might recommend the game as part of a bundle, or if it's otherwise on sale, but as it is, I can not recommend that people purchase this game for its full listed price.

Over Hyped
Good graphics and plot have given a lot of people good feels and earned it too many positive reviews for what is, essentially a walking simulator puzzle solver combination game. A Lovecraftian or psychological thriller if you like. It's a cute story of love, and human greed mixed up in myth. A classic recipe that works so well in all the hidden object and puzzle games you have played before, but not here. The game sadly takes ages to really rise to the occasion. The end is pretty cool, just takes ages to reach.

Guessing
You are really left guessing all along what the end will be, and as such the plot is truly sublime. I felt the story become more familiar as it went along and made the connections.

Dry
The dialog lines and voice-over lines are drily delivered in far too level a tone to fit the intensity of the setting and situations you find yourself in. You are alone, left for 3 days on an island inhabited by natives who don't want you there at all. As if that does not build suspense, the island is also guarded by powerful supernatural natural forces. It even has a huge sea monster that can sink ships. But not a hint of terror in the actress voice. Well, at least not until the very end.

Beautifully drawn environments everywhere, are let down by a completely flat soundscape. I quickly turned the Sound FX way down because the FX were just too loud and flat.

You play 6 chapters, each chapter has a clever transition to go with it and take you to the next area. There is a real sense of suspense, but even the horror of the dangerous disease you have somehow contracted does not seem to register in the dialog delivery until the last chapter, when the end becomes easy to guess.

Treacle Slow Puzzles
A few easy puzzles, but a lot of horrid ones. At least one of the puzzles that most people hated, I actually found to be easy and passed on my second attempt. But too many puzzles require walking about in circles repeatedly and at snail pace until you work out the puzzle after many attempts. One of the simpler beautiful puzzles to get a water wheel going for example requires you to walk around the machine once each time just to get to the next lever. It's almost as if the puzzles were designed to be time wasters.

This game would however be worth playing :
  • If the puzzles had a skip button or even a hint button
  • If the developers spent time on the soundscape and sound engine

Call of the Sea is a lovely puzzle game with beautiful graphics and environments, great voice acting and ambient music, cool story and good puzzles.
It is a chill game, and some parts are a bit slow to traverse, but the amazing visuals and atmosphere make it worth it. There are not tons of puzzles in it, just a few per chapter, but I found most of them challenging (but not frustrating) and fun. Exploration is also key to solve the puzzles and unravel the story. The game is not very long, but I think it has the needed duration to not feel short, and a longer duration may have been too much.
Overall I feel this is a very good puzzle game, really worth the price.

Нууу... такой романтизированной работы по Лавкрафту я ещё не видела :) Т.е. тут у нас вроде и про рыболюдей и ктулхуёвина в виде камео маячит где-то на горизонте, но при этом никак не о вселенском ужасе и его тайнах. Локации в основном радужно красивые, сочные, а порой и вырвиглазно яркие - прям остров счастья, только понЕй не хватает. Поначалу думала что игра просто задабривает, а потом каааак выскочит какая-нить бня из-за угла. А вот нет. Тут у нас приключение, любовь-морковь. Мадам страдает от странной болезни и вслед за пропавшим обожаемым мужем приезжает на чудо-остров, чтобы раскрыть её истоки. И хотя в истории происходили мрачные события, но они всё время остаются где-то на фоне. Загадки - вроде и ничего особенного, но где-то и напрячься пришлось. В основном ходите, собираете информацию в виде записочек, фоточек и всяких штук, чтобы понять что тут случилось. Да любуетесь местными красотами. Приятная игра, оставляющая легкую грусть.

I got this on a sale for about $14, and loved every minute of it. I'm not the best at puzzles by any means, but even I figured them out. The story is beautiful and so sweet, and the landscapes are stunning. I will definitely replay to fully complete it to get all the achievements. I highly recommend this game to anyone that's a fan of romance and/or puzzles

很美的遊戲,無論場景意境或故事內容

不同於密閉空間中的解謎遊戲,玩家往往猜得出下一步該做什麼,這款遊戲的解謎過程則幾乎都是在一個半開放空間中,必須自己找到線索,有時候需要仰賴玩家自己對解謎遊戲的敏銳度和直覺,不然可能會以為謎題沒邏輯,或者不知道下一步該做些什麼,但也正是因為遊戲的過程幾乎都是在開放環境,才更讓人有身歷其境的冒險感.

最後有兩種結局, 看結尾的合照可以看出差異,歌曲的末段也不同,雖然兩種結局的最後終究講述著同一件事

画面看着挺舒服的,就是有的场景太黑,找不到路。
主角移动速度太慢,导致中途玩的有点打瞌睡。考虑到设定上主角腿脚不灵活?倒也能理解。
剧情的话比较简单,没想到是个爱情故事。解密部分跟着流程走也不难,就是需要来回赶路0.0
总体来说还可以,打折可以入。

The game is great.
Kinda old school puzzle some seems hard but are simplem it's not always the same level.
The walking and running paces are a bit slow to my taste but it is use most of the time to tell the story which is great but when you have to run across a stage it's a pain.

I had a great time playing this game.

I've now played this game 4 times. Once for each ending, once for achievement hunting and once to test my new 4K monitor (which is another step towards glorious). This is not a difficult adventure game (I loathe the "walking simulator" monicker, but then, I've played adventures since the fabled days of Advent and Zork).

I've been a HP Lovecraft fan, specifically of his Cthulhu and Dream cycles for decades, but starkly aware of his flaws, whether its his outspoken racism and xenophobia - or the fact that he is to adjectives what Welsh is to consonants and Polynesian is to vowels: moar, moar, moar!

The story of this game is like Lovecraft for the 21st century. (In the same way the Illuminatus! trilogy dragged Lovecraft kicking and screaming out of the 30s into the 60s and 70s, with all that the era had to... uhm... offer). Uplifted but without going for the "good vs evil" that Derleth injected. It's still sad. It's still fatalistic. All endings are bitter in some way. This is still the universe of inevitability in the face of which humans have no say but acceptance (but without the nowadays often hysterical and overly dramatic seeming "it will drive you maaaaaaad" that HPL harped on endlessly).

As already indicated, the graphics are glorious, the music fits well, the voice actors are great - though neither quite getting that New England drawl quite right. But, being English, the voice actress of the heroine comes quite close to "distinguished American" - just watch a 30s or 40s movie with Katherine Hepburn.

There is no mouse-hunting. Your targets and their interactions are clear and obvious. One or two puzzles are marginally trial&error.

The main issue is length. It's too short by far. But if we consider that the original author's longest story barely qualifies as a novella, I support you could argue it's par for the course.

The sceneries are really gorgeous but somehow the riddles fell on my nerves, I simply got tired of looking over the same place for the 100th time to find some clue or whatever to get the story going. I played quite some riddle games before, so it's not about the genre.

Fabulous adventure game. Great voice acting, riveting storyline, jaw-droppingly beautiful visuals, and a cinematic music score. Absolutely worth the price.
The frequent puzzles are integral to progressing the storyline, and while some were harder than others, most were aided by virtue of the protagonist's diary entries and diagrams (which she adds while you're progressing in each area of the game). It took me a while to figure some of them out, but they're not of the head-scratching Myst variety. Plenty of online walkthroughs (if needed) are available, as well.
There are 3 manual save slots (not a lot, but at least they're available), and the game auto-saves quite often, which helps. There are also chapter replays once the game is completed, which is great because not only are there two different endings, but some of the scenery is so gorgeous I love hopping back and forth between environments now that I've finished the game...they're THAT pleasant to look at!
I have a 3 yr old desktop PC (Dell) and the game never crashed once, or lagged, and the optimization was great for me, too.
I'd give the game a 9/10...I'd have given it a 10 for more save slots (a minor quibble). THe ending(s) will also tug at your heartstrings.
Buy it! Enjoy it!

I'm only at chapter 3 but I think that's enough for me.

Pros
- Great world building / design.

♥♥♥♥
- Awful Crosshair design, when object/place is bright (color) you don't see it. So you may miss something and stuck.
- There's a mouse smoothing which you can't disable. It's really irritating.
- Puzzles doesn't make sense. I played many adventure games, this is one of the worst. For example, even after looking a walkthrough I still don't get frequency / organ puzzle. Pillar puzzle at chapter 2 was really bad too.
- No first person hands / feets etc, no animations / cutscenes. Game's intro basically showing you logos with sounds / voice overs. This is cheap / lazy or whatever you prefer to call it.

I wrote a longer review for this game as I had Thoughts(tm) & Feedback(tm) but steam just deleted it because I pressed escape on accident. So here's a shorter one.

tl;dr its okay, looks good, took about 3-3.5h to complete without rushing

Pros:
- Visually great. Environment artists are talented and pulling their weight.

Mixed:
- Puzzles. I don't play puzzle games often because they kick my ass already mid-game. Here they're on the easy side. Some of them took just about long enough to feel satisfying. If you're into easier puzzle games that build up a good atmosphere, this is not a ♥♥♥.

♥♥♥♥:
- Writing. Monologue - protagonist keeps repeating stuff you figured out 15-30 minutes earlier. Story - bit cheesy, but not too bad.
- Ladders. They take way too long to climb. You don't have to be rushing to find them frustrating.
- Movement/camera smoothing. I felt light motion sickness before I disabled these. It does not come easy to me, I frequently play VR games with no problems.
- Ultrawide support (or lack of). You'll see some clipping at the edges of your screen at times when the world is optimized away where you shouldn't be able to see it. Most noticeable in water.

"Are you sure you want to quit this game?" (It asks you this when you try to exit the application.)

I most definitely do not. But having unlocked the mysteries of its island and characters, and seeing its quest through to the bittersweet end, I have no choice. Like Norah and Harry, I'm different now, and I can't turn back the clock.

This was an adventure I will never forget.

Easily the best use of H.P. Lovecraft I have seen in a video game, although the reality is that the gorgeous setting and intricate puzzles and even the disturbing premise are all outshone by the plight of these two desperate lovers.

Jogo lindo de doer, perfeito pra quem gosta de horror cósmico e de uma história imersiva pra caramba. Tem alguns puzzles bem simples, outros você precisa pensar um pouco mais nos detalhes, mas nada que te trave no progresso. Em fim, bem divertido no geral e vale a pena jogar.

Call of the Sea é um jogo de aventura em primeira pessoa desenvolvido pela Out of the Blue e publicado pela Raw Fury. O jogo combina elementos de exploração, quebra-cabeças e narrativa para criar uma experiência envolvente e cativante. Nesta análise, vamos analisar os principais aspectos do jogo, incluindo jogabilidade, história, gráficos, som, pontos positivos e negativos.

Jogabilidade:
A jogabilidade de Call of the Sea é baseada em exploração e resolução de quebra-cabeças. Os jogadores assumem o papel de Norah, uma mulher em busca de seu marido desaparecido em uma ilha remota no Pacífico Sul. Ao explorar a ilha, os jogadores encontrarão pistas, resolverão quebra-cabeças e desvendarão os mistérios por trás da história. Os quebra-cabeças são desafiadores, mas bem projetados, e requerem pensamento lógico e observação cuidadosa. A progressão da história é bem equilibrada, mantendo o jogador engajado do início ao fim.

História:
A história de Call of the Sea é um dos pontos mais fortes do jogo. É uma narrativa envolvente e misteriosa, cheia de reviravoltas e descobertas. À medida que os jogadores exploram a ilha e desvendam os segredos por trás do desaparecimento do marido de Norah, eles serão apresentados a personagens intrigantes e eventos sobrenaturais. A história é bem escrita e mantém o jogador motivado a descobrir a verdade.

Gráficos:
Os gráficos de Call of the Sea são deslumbrantes. O jogo apresenta um estilo artístico vibrante e colorido, com belas paisagens, detalhes impressionantes e efeitos visuais envolventes. Cada local na ilha é único e cheio de vida, transmitindo uma sensação de mistério e maravilha. Os visuais contribuem para a imersão na história e dão vida ao mundo do jogo.

Som e Trilha Sonora:
O som e a trilha sonora de Call of the Sea são igualmente notáveis. Os efeitos sonoros ajudam a criar uma atmosfera envolvente, como o som das ondas quebrando na praia, a vegetação se movendo com o vento e os ruídos misteriosos que emanam da ilha. A trilha sonora é bem escolhida e se encaixa perfeitamente com os momentos emocionais e de suspense da história.

Pontos Positivos:

Narrativa envolvente e misteriosa, cheia de reviravoltas e descobertas.
Quebra-cabeças desafiadores, mas bem projetados.
Estética visual deslumbrante e vibrante.

Pontos Negativos:

Pode parecer curto para alguns jogadores.
Alguns puzzles podem ser um pouco complexos demais.

Recomendação e Nota:
Recomendo Call of the Sea para os fãs de jogos de aventura e quebra-cabeças que procuram uma experiência envolvente e imersiva. A narrativa cativante, a jogabilidade desafiadora e os visuais deslumbrantes são os pontos fortes do jogo. Embora a duração do jogo possa ser um pouco curta para alguns jogadores e alguns quebra-cabeças possam ser complexos demais, a experiência geral de Call of the Sea vale a pena. Com base em seus pontos fortes e fracos, minha nota para o jogo é 8,5 de 10.

A fresh take on Lovecraft's mythos. As someone in it for the story more than the puzzles I personally enjoyed the level of difficulty they present, but someone who plays games like this for the brain challenge might find it lacking. Story and voiceacting is great though, even if the game feels a bit short.

Also, wiggle that taint.

Très bon jeu d'exploration/enquête. Les graphismes, très réussis, prouvent que jeu indépendant ne rime pas forcément avec gros pixels affreux. C'est même le plus beau cell-shading que j'aie vu, une vraie oeuvre d'art. La musique est elle aussi d'une grande qualité, et l'histoire très bien écrite et doublée. L'ambiance qui en résulte est vraiment convaincante. Toutes ces qualités font de Call of the Sea une aventure pleine de beauté et de mystère, que je recommande franchement.

적극추천합니다!!

총 플레이시간은 밥먹는 시간 빼서 5시간 30분정도 됩니다.
몰입도가 아주 좋아요 마치 디즈니 영화의 주인공이 된 것 처럼 배경도 이쁘고 브금도 좋아서 가슴이 웅장해집니다.
하지만 중간 중간 눈뽕이 가끔 있었습니다.
퍼즐도 아주 어렵지 않고 가볍게 즐기면서 할 정도로 구성되어있어 진행에 큰 방해가 없었습니다.
자잘한 버그 하나가 있지만 그렇게 신경쓸만한 버그는 아니였구요.(리폿 넣어놨습니다! 특정 사진을 클릭하면 키가 안먹는 버그인데 저장하시고 나갔다 들어오시면 됩니다! 저만 그런건지도 몰라요!)

암튼 쨋든 한 번 플레이해볼만한 가치가 있는 게임이라고 생각합니다!!

This is a beautiful game. Peaceful in Chapter 1 at least. I have yet to learn more. My only difficulty is picking up the interaction symbols. They work for a while and then my mouse doesn't seem to pick them up even when I know where they are. I quit and then go back into the game later for them to work. I really want to continue with it.

Primero que nada quiero remarcar que el estilo visual es bastante 'atractivo', la música es buena y el primer capitulo te puede llegar a atrapar en la historia.

Realmente no es que el juego sea malo, pero es algo decepcionante.
En general, lo que me decepciono fueron los rompecabezas. todos parecen bastante aburridos (La mayoría de ellos son símbolos que encontras garabateados en alguna parte o símbolos para escribir en tu cuaderno y después dejarlos en otro lugar). No busco dar a entender que los acertijos sean demasiado fáciles, simplemente no son ni un poco interesantes.
Supongo que la historia está bien, pero definitivamente no es algo que te "sumerja" a través del juego.

Si te gustan los gráficos de estilo caricaturesco, probablemente vas a pensar que el juego es precioso visualmente, pero yo no soy una de esas personas, así que para mí las imágenes estaban bien, pero no es algo por lo que lo jugaría, supongo que mi error fue esperar mucho más del juego.

Just completed this game and I really enjoyed it. I was initially expecting more of a hardcore horror-like experience, but the game's vibe ended up feeling more wondrous and exploratory. It reminded me a bit of the old LucasArts game "The Dig" in that you're in a dangerous situation with a lot of tech that you need to learn how to use. The puzzles are relatively easy if you're a hardcore adventure gamer, but I didn't find that to be a problem since the real star of the game is the setting itself. The island is absolutely gorgeous and the game is incredibly immersive. I've seen comments suggesting the developers should add VR support and I must say I'm surprised they hadn't already; the game would lend itself so well to that sort of experience. The story isn't going to rock your world, but within the context of the game I felt it worked fine. If you're looking for a pleasant, immersive island adventure experience, do pick this one up - it's a fun ride.

Artistically speaking, this game looks quite striking, especially if you're really into the type of art style on display here; which I DEFINITELY am. However, this is severely held back by the "drunken implementation of the mouse look", as other reviews have mentioned. If this had a crisp hardware mouse look option, instead of the floaty controls on offer, I'd rebuy and recommend...but for now it's a refunded 'watch' to see if it gets addressed. If and when this is fixed, I'll happily come back and change my review; I hope the developers presents me the opportunity to do so.

I'm happy to report that my concerns were VERY quickly addressed by the developer, via the option to turn mouse smoothing on or off (at which point, I happily repurchased the game...had I known how quickly the developer would respond to me directly, and personally...and how quickly they would address the issue, I'd never have refunded to begin with).

I'm now adamantly enjoying the story at play here (as the controls feel nice and snappy now) and find the puzzles not overly difficult but just engaging enough to scratch that 'puzzle' itch that makes you feel neat when you solve something. As I'd mentioned before, the art direction for this game is INCREDIBLE and, being a 3D artist myself, gets me excited to create again. I look forward to finishing this game and as well as to future titles from this developer. Do yourself a favor, if this type of Lovecraftian story is your jam, and buy this game.

Closing Thoughts (Post Completion)

Deeply engaging story. Honestly I would have loved for this story to have been stretched out just a bit more. Perhaps an opening chapter or two in Taihiti and/or Norah and Harry's home. I feel this would have addressed the perceived 'shortness' of the game which, while I feel like I got my money's worth, is a very valid point made by many (this makes the game time to cost ratio on the higher end of most games I usually play, at around $3-4 per hour). This being said, the experience of this game's story is quite exquisite. Other than a couple caption issues, where the captions didn't directly match the spoken dialogue, there was VERY little in the way of things that were distracting or took me out of the story. 99.8% of the assets in the game are expertly crafted, only a few minor normal map and texture issues; again VERY minor. All in all, this is a story that I won't soon forget.

To add: repurchased after refunding, once developer informed me of directly patching the issue I took with the game. Albeit short, I look forward to what this developer puts out next.

Ödes Adventure. Renne die ganze Zeit bunte Szenarien hoch und runter, vielleicht hast du ja was übersehen, nebenbei wird eine unspannende Geschichte erzählt. Die Rätsel sind nicht schwer, sondern umständlich und langweilig. Obwohl ich schon seit 20 Jahren alles mögliche aus der Ego-Perspektive spiele, bekomme ich bei diesem Spiel starke Motionsickness.

Walking simulator with easy to hard puzzles:

Graphics are nice and fitting. And even the story is until the end of Chapter 4 really really good.
But then the last 2 chapters are just utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The endings are just bad and the "emotions" are so wrong sometimes.
I love lovecraft things but sadly, like many other games, when its done poorly something like this is the result.

If you play it to end of chapter 4 its a 8/10
Any further it becomes a 3/10

I enjoyed this game. I like that it is a first person adventure game. There is plenty of walking around and finding artifacts to read. You won't collect anything in this game, only potential hints. The graphics were beautiful. Some of the puzzles took a bit but I only had to look up clues for one of them. Played on the steam deck and it worked pretty well.

Not an open world puzzle game I thought it'd be based off the trailers, but a visually stunning straight forward experience. Puzzles were just challenging enough for a couple eureka moments, without breaking the flow of the story.

Hard for me to recommend given how stupid the story was ("My illness!" lol), how convoluted many of the puzzles were, and that the Steam version has been stripped of the cloud save support available on other platforms. What saved it though was the simple accessibility toggle that changed the handwritten journal font into one with better readability. I also really appreciated the extra SDH subtitle options to subtitle environmental sounds as well as dialogue.

I want to scream every time someone describe a game as "beautiful," but this one really isn't bad to look at. This has unusual importance because players spend a disproportionate amount of time wandering around and looking at everything while trying to guess what to do next. Puzzle gamers are really good at identifying objectives and organizing mental checklists of tasks and puzzle pieces, and Call Of The Sea will really test the limits of those skills based on which arbitrary things the player character records in your journal. But not necessarily in a way that is fun.

In fact, most of the gameplay felt tedious and boring, and I often found myself hoping I didn't find anything else of interest so I didn't need to listen to another cringy, tone deaf narration. Every object needed to be carefully examined, which usually meant slowly turning around pieces of paper to find some pointless (and story-gating) piece of text scrawled on the back with random nouns circled.

As a linear game it actually functioned pretty well, but there's no saving the trainwreck of a story. Any female protagonist positives are instantly erased the moment her motivation is revealed to be finding her man. Then there's the incessant dialogue bemoaning "her illness" which she does between nearly every breath for the entire game. I get that it's kind of the point of the story, but have you ever met anyone suffering from any real and persistent malady? It's offensive to write chronically sick people off as such, such serial complainers. Not to mention a waste of good voice talent.

Given exactly the same story beats, wouldn't Norah searching for a cure to her illness in lieu of her unreliable partner make for a more compelling story?

I took very little away from completing this game (and manually backing up my own saves), and never felt that I had much agency in the story. That the puzzles in particular weren't any fun to solve is a serious demerit when recommending this over titles in this genre, but the thing is this: that it's priced fairly at $20, has quality in the art direction and voice acting departments ahead of its competition, marks an incredible debut of a small Spanish team, and has thoughtful accessibility options make it easy for me to put my thumb up. Will definitely keep an eye out for more from studio Out Of The Blue.

剧情很有感觉啊,但是我觉得只有选择留下来才是真结局(?),总感觉如果选择回到小岛,更像是被不可名状控制以后做出的行为。女主对于男主的态度,以及男主留下的信息,都表明他们之间的情谊支持女主选择继续人类的人生,即使是痛苦的,但更加真实。游戏很有可玩性!里面的解密逻辑性强,需要一定思考但是不会很难,真的非常爱!!

ストーリー
・クリアまで5時間程度のボリュームだが、ミステリーとしてきれいにまとまっており、伏線もキッチリ回収されている。ホラー風の演出が少しあるが、ドッキリ系・グロ系は無い。

グラフィック
・マップは、ゼルダBotWやRiMEをさらに高グラフィックにしたような、緑と青を強調した幻想的な世界。
・光と水の表現は、素晴らしいの一言。しかも4k対応。

パズル
・難易度は中程度で程よいバランス。探索してヒントを集めつつ、パズルを解いて先に進んでいく。アクション要素は特にない。
・主人公は気になったものをすべてメモしてくれるので、「ヒントを確認するために戻る」という無駄な動作をしなくて済む。

他、良かった点
・全体的にかなり丁寧に作られている印象を受けた。アイテムは360°回転して観察できる上に、1つ1つに主人公がコメントして、物語が深みを増すような作りになっている。そのため、進行に関係ない収集物も自然と探してしまった。

残念な点
・移動が遅い。走っても遅い。「離れた位置にあるボタンを順番に押していく」など、往復移動するパズルがいくつかあるので、移動の遅さがストレスになる。
・オブジェクトにかなり近づかないとアイコンが出ないので、ヒントや収集物のチェック漏れが出やすい。

非常唯美非常艳丽的奇幻卡通画风,游戏兼顾了步行模拟和解密两种类型,讲述了一个家族的女士受到了疾病,为了治病探寻神秘小岛的剧情。剧情拥有奇幻,悬疑,克鲁苏等元素,是剧情爱好者的优质选择
。
唯美的画风,加上虚幻4的强大,构建了一个绚烂又丰富的奇幻的世界。花鸟与树木相得益彰,飞花与泉涌交相辉映,美工的实力可见一斑。游戏是卡通风,但是建模精细,很有动画片的感觉。光影效果强大,细节元素丰富。游戏BGM丰富并且很贴合主题。

游戏的玩法是步行模拟和解密,大概是8分剧情2分解密吧,解密比例不高。大部分谜题都比较直白,个别谜题还是需要动点脑筋的。个别谜题的设计真的是非常刁钻,不看攻略基本上不可能完成的那种,当然成就都叫你看攻略了,官方吐槽你。

游戏的主要玩法应该是看风景然后推进剧情。剧情其实中规中矩,悬念很多,但是解密不高。游戏剧情前期比较温馨,中后期就是陷入了克苏鲁元素。感觉最近欧美游戏这种带有家族诅咒的故事,很多都是克苏鲁元素。编剧应该想办法搞点更具有创意的。

游戏人物的移动速度很慢,地图又特别大。如果能加入自动向前的设定的话,可能玩起来更轻松一点。
【优点】
1、画风唯美,风景宜人,美术很强
2、解密元素还不错,植入剧情不生硬

【缺点】
1、剧情发展不够流畅,代入感有减弱
2、个别地方有地形BUG

Here's the thing. For an exploratory, clue finding game, its pretty linear in terms of where to go and what to find. You're not gonna NOT be able to figure out where the main clues are, they make themselves pretty apparent from fairly far back, your cursor will change to an eyeball.
The in game art was cool, reminded me of sea of thieves. The cut scenes though were really just watercolour paintings, still shots, not much to see.
The puzzles weren't all the difficult, but because of the movement speed, they were annoying. Lots of ground to cover and some backtracking through the stages.
The character moves horrendously slow. You can press shift to go a little faster, but why? Just make her go max speed! There's no "sneaking" or anything in this game. Just run already!
Finally the story, yeah it was pretty obvious what her "illness" was less than halfway through the game. So not really a great mystery, more like a "lets see what happens when she..."
Overall, Id expect an exploratory, clue finding, mystery game to have more exploration, harder to find clues, and a better mystery. Fail on all 3.
Mostly, I felt annoyed while playing.

8.5/10 剧情方面没的说,解谜难度也适中,没有想不到只有找不到,很享受的一段旅途。太爱女主了,她的幽默感给游戏中压抑的氛围带来了不少的乐趣.
之前看评论说走路慢,起初并没有感觉,但随着推进,一次要探索的区域越来越多,强制性的重复跑图或者因为解谜不顺畅导致的来回跑图的情况越来越多,走路速度太慢就成了一种折磨,在游戏里偏后期严重影响游戏体验。

一款剧情驱动游戏,在第三个场景就能让任何人完全猜得到游戏最核心的剧情设定,而后整个游戏就仅仅是关于这一设定的补充,毫无神秘色彩可言,完全没有游玩的动力与乐趣,简直糟糕透顶。
场景上本以为整个游戏都会围绕着热带岛屿展开,但结果全游戏只有1/3的时间身处岛屿,其他基本上在不明所以画风吊诡的超现实遗迹里。此外这不是一个线性游戏,而是由一个个沙盒解密场景所组成的游戏,既没有连贯度也没有丰富性,所以玩起来并不会感觉到自己是在探索一个神秘的岛屿,而仅仅是在破解一个个答案散布在沙盒各个角落谜题。
这款游戏玩的过程中并没有什么能满足或者刺激你好奇心的东西,谜底揭晓通关时更没有什么翻转或让你恍然大悟的东西,总之不值这个价钱,但考虑到不错的画面以及超好听的女主配音,五折后还是可以考虑入手的。

抛开略显僵硬的建模,无处不在的空气墙不谈,这绝对是一款好游戏。
下面说说优点:首先,这种漫画式画风本身就很讨喜,加上游戏本身故事属性很浓,更是营造出一种梦幻的感觉,相得益彰。
其次,音乐挺到位的,很能烘托氛围,即使实在解密卡关的时候也不会觉得出戏。再次,噱头很足,虽然是经典克苏鲁剧情,但人/鱼切换、梦境/现实切换以及最后的双结局都让略显平庸的剧情不时的能给玩家一点意料之外的惊喜。
解密难度我觉得不低,好在游玩过程中提示较多,而且摸清楚制作组套路之后谜题就不难了。
推荐玩家:克苏鲁爱好者、剧情党、沉浸式体验爱好者、猎奇玩家

Very well crafted narrative puzzle game. The visual direction is stunning, and combining that with the audio and story creates a really good and atmospheric experience. None of the puzzles were absurdly difficult or easy and with almost finding all collectibles/discover-able items (only missing the secret items) I was able to finish the game in ~5 hours at a normal pace.

Loved practically everything about the experience, and may go back in the future to wrap up the secret discover-able objects.

설치가 매우 오래 걸렸다. 정말. 정말. 정말로.
힐링게임이라고 생각했는데
게임을 시작하자마자 내 캐릭터가 심해인 혼혈이라는 것을 깨달았고...
나는 그렇게 바다로 불려갔다... 내 남편을 찾으러...

처음엔 1인칭 시점이 진짜 너무 힘들었고...

아쉬운 점을 먼저 얘기하자면
내 캐릭터는 햄스터인가 싶을 만큼 바닥에 붙어있는 시야가 끔찍했다.
이것 때문에 3장까지 멀미가... 정말 말도못하게 힘들었음.
30분 게임하고... 3시간 쉬고 대충 이런 식...

좋은 점은... 그래도 그래픽이 캐주얼하고 예쁜데다 타임어택 기믹이 없어서 버틸 수 있었다.
그래픽이 조금만 더 리얼했다면 진짜 그만뒀을 거임...
* Please!!! 3인칭 모드까진 바라지 않으니까, 최소한 중앙에 하얀 점 크기를 키워줬으면 좋겠습니다.

다른 러브크래프트 1인칭 게임과는 다르게 플레이어 캐릭터가 심해인 혼혈이라
인간과는 남다른 광기(?)에 더 수월하게, 스토리에 집중하며 플레이했습니다.
스토리가 정말 재밌고 기믹이 꽤 풀만합니다.

An atmospheric puzzler set within a dark mythos. I highly recommend it, though it may not be for everyone.

Call Of The Sea is a First-Person adventure game with increasingly beautiful sights and challenges, all within a dark undercurrent. It has plenty of challenging "Aha!" puzzle moments that made me keep going until the (for me) poignant end.

It may be a bit slow paced in how the character moves, but I think that relates well to the story.

If you're a fan of Lovecraft's work then it's definitely worth your time . If not then it's still is a wonderfully crafted and acted game.

In this day and age, it often takes a diamond in the rough to out-shine the production value of triple-a development titles. But Spain based developer Out of the Blue has managed to do just that.

Their flagship game Call of the Sea is a beautiful example of executing a vision to near perfection, while also focusing on quality rather than quantity.

Call of the Sea is a first person adventure/puzzle game where you travel to a gorgeous island off the coast of Tahiti in a bid to find your missing husband.

In order to find him however you — playing as the mild mannered art professor Norah Everhart — must progress through the numerous puzzles left behind in the wake of an ancient civilization.

All the while uncovering the truth of Norah’s mysterious disease that has plagued generations of her family.

Firstly the plot is backed up by the game's distinct visual style.

The visuals of the island you are exploring are exceedingly beautiful and well made. As well as saturated colors of the foliage and cel shaded details in the multiple murals and wall reliefs you come across are eye catching.

Each water area that you traverse is packed to the brim with bright primary coloured coral and statues that evoke a sense of curiosity when you examine them.

This feeling of curiosity is pervasive through the game from start to finish. Which is fitting as the visuals are a backdrop to the multiple puzzles you are presented with throughout.

The puzzles are the main mechanical draw of Call of the Sea, clearly taking inspiration from fellow island based puzzle game — 1993’s Myst.

On the whole they are relatively simple logic based puzzles that generally revolve around observing the virtual world around you.

These puzzles were never incredibly challenging, in fact the puzzles are all rather easy — I only got hung up on one late game puzzle myself.

However, these puzzles benefit from being easy, never was I increasingly frustrated to the point of wanting to put the game down. Plus the frequency of how many puzzles that I encountered gave me enough satisfaction to keep going on to the next one.

Rather than a grueling mental struggle, this game was more akin to a refreshing mental workout. Puzzles often came down to a sort of meditative formula: Find visual clues in the world, read notes for contextual solutions and use logic to finish the puzzle.

I often felt like I was partaking in an escape the room flash game.

Additionally just like an early 2000s flash game, Norah’s dialogue, voiced by Cissy Jones of Darksiders III fame, is to the point of hilarity all external.

For example, at the very beginning of the game Norah explains ad nauseum the entire contextual basis for why the events of the game are in motion. As if she were cast in a Shakespearean play and monologuing to the crowd.

Thankfully this is the only time such a monologue feels out of place and disjointed, so it is quickly forgotten. The rest of the game is beautifully narrated, with some interjections by Norah’s husband Harry played by veteran voice actor Yuri Lowenthal.

The real draw of the game however is not its stunning world, or its numerous puzzles, but instead it’s story.

On the surface it is a simple MacGuffin story, explore and traverse the island and its secrets, find your husband and perhaps even the cure to your illness along the way.

The story is presented to you through many different documents, items, and murals. With these you are constantly making connections between locations, objects, sounds and symbols.

With your trusty journal by your side that is written and illustrated by Norah, it is always interesting to read as it feels sometimes that she might have figured out some solutions before you had.

But beneath the surface of the contextual clues and puzzling contraptions is a story hiding so much more.

The themes of this game are steeped in a kind of Lovecraftian mysticism. Instead of invoking the endless and ceaseless horrors of H.P. Lovecraft’s work — Call of the Sea instead would rather use Lovecraft’s mythos as a lens to view ideas of personal growth, love, wonder and acceptance.

The inherent unknown present in eldritch horror is related to the unknown of slowly discovering who you truly are, an experience that can be exciting and terrifying at the same time.

Call of the Sea strikes this emotional balance between fear and excitement incredibly well. Often I was so enraptured in the joy of discovery that I at times forgot about the main objective of the game itself.

I always felt compelled to explore what the next area had to offer and inspect its many items along the way. It was truly a wonderful experience from beginning to end.

All in all, as a flagship game goes this is a brilliant opener for Out of the Blue. Their vision was executed masterfully for a new independent studio and that truly shines through in every facet of the game. I would recommend this for anyone who is a fan of puzzles, and short story games as it is a masterful example of those genres. Do not let this diamond fall through the cracks, as it is one of the brightest that 2020 has to offer.


Final Thoughts:
- Beautifully crafted world to explore
- Puzzles that will keep you engaged throughout
- Great voice acting that never overstays its welcome
- Numerous secrets and easter eggs to find
- Genuinely touching story interwoven with Lovecraftian themes

Tolles Spiel. Sehr schöne Grafik und tolle Geschichte. Mir gefällt sehr gut, dass die Puzzle alle (zumindest bisher) logisch sind und man nicht ewig hin- und herlaufen muss, um alles zusammenzubekommen. Jedes Kapitel bietet ein größeres Rätsel an, aber eben auf vergleichsweise begrenztem Raum.
Ich bin noch nicht ganz durch, bin aber sehr aufs Ende gespannt!

Von mir eine klare Empfehlung!

Ich kann Call of the Sea jedem empfehlen, der Spass an einer schön erzählten Geschichte hat. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad der Rätsel ist, wenn man alle Hinweise gefunden hat, durchaus moderat und wie ich finde gut zu lösen. Mir fehlte manchmal etwas die Abwechslung. Die Rätsel sind sehr schön in die Geschichte eingebaut. Die Grafik ist immer eine Frage des persönlichen Geschmacks. Mir hat sie sehr gut gefallen, denn die Mischung auch mit der Musik passt einfach zur Geschichte und dem Setting.

短小的解谜游戏 ,风景很棒,谜题难度不高,就是有些地方设计纯粹为了浪费你的时间,还有个好老公。但是移动速度慢过头了,而且越到后面场景虽然宏伟但是一直慢慢走容易犯困,建议搭配CE改2倍速玩。

A wonderful little project, that kept me entertained for the whole of its 5 hour duration. Every puzzle here felt intuitive in the end, though a few stumped me for far longer than I'm open to admitting. The voice acting is solid, and the mysteries are fun to unravel. A few of the 'twists' are foreshadowed a bit too heavily, but it felt like the game was constantly adding layers to either the game's backstory or the main plot. As a plus, there are additional secrets you can go back and search for if you want get everything you can out of the game.

Schönes, kleines Rätselspiel aus Ego-Perspektive im Cthulhu-Setting. Man sollte nicht zu viel erwarten. Aber die spannende Geschichte ist gut vertont und die Atmosphäre immer dicht. Nur Horror gibts hier keinen, im Vordergrund steht das Entdecken, die Rätsel und die Geschichte.

«Зов Моря» – это новая игра «в духе Лавкрафта», коих вышло просто немерено на сегодняшний день. Жаль, что действительно достойных можно пересчитать по пальцам одной руки. По крайней мере, разработчики из Out Of The Blue не пошли путём примитивного симулятора ходьбы, а сделали головоломку, а также предложили довольно нетипичную для сеттинга любовную историю. Что у них получилось – сейчас разберёмся.
Действие происходит в 1930-х годах, главная героиня Нора Эверхарт отправляется на некий остров в Полинезии, чтобы найти своего пропавшего мужа Генри, участвовавшего в некой экспедиции. На острове Нора находит их следы, а также неожиданно останки былой цивилизации, куда более древней, чем можно было предположить. Более того – открытия этого места загадочным образом связаны с неизвестной болезнью Норы, от которой её супруг и искал лекарство. Его судьбу, а также собственную и судьбу всего этого острова нам и предстоит выяснить.
Когда задумываешься о лавкрафтианском сеттинге, то быстро понимаешь, что истории о культистах, рыболюдях и монструозных богах из иных миров уже навязли на зубах и требуют либо развития, либо качественного и глубокого исполнения. Какой-либо оригинальности в плане лора вы здесь скорее всего не получите (особенно если читали «Дагона»), а что касается исполнения – сюжет во многом, как ни странно, напоминает последнюю «Амнезию», но, к сожалению, и в плохом смысле тоже – ввиду унылого осточертевшего повествования через записки и слайд-шоу, когда добрая половина деталей теряется, сопереживать персонажам не получается. Никакого элемента хоррора в игре нет, хотя саспенс местами строить и пытаются, но приводит он в никуда – вот и получается пресно, натянуто и малоувлекательно, даже в любовную линию верится с трудом, то ли их голоса слишком редко пересекаются, то ли всё слишком слащаво и банально, но в целом впечатление остаётся слабое.
Головоломки. Ох уж эти головоломки.. В конечном итоге я не пожалел, что игра не оказалась симулятором ходьбы, потому что, честно говоря, это не совсем правда – ходить между головоломными элементами по уровням приходится много, долго и медлительно. Но сами головоломки – они просто отвратительны. Да, я про себя прекрасно знаю, что я тупой и не замечаю иногда слишком очевидных вещей, но смотря в прохождение или спрашивая совета у друзей, я прекрасно понял также, что и головоломки эти просто противопоказаны людям наблюдательным и последовательным. Иногда распознать подсказки на уровнях просто не представляется возможным (удачи вам понять на моменте с созвездиями, где там у них есть соединения, а где нет); а в других случаях логика настолько искажена и перемудрена, заставляя тебя метаться от одного элемента к другому и переключать всё по 20 раз (хотя можно было поставить эти долбаные кнопки рядом друг с другом), что это искусственно растягивает геймплей (6 часов в итоге), бесит и не доставляет ни капли удовлетворения от очередной пройденной пытки здравого смысла.
Ладно, давайте, что ли, о плюсах. Выглядит игра просто сказочно. Несмотря на общую мыльность текстур, картинка крайне приятная; это касается игр со светом и с цветом, и ОСОБЕННО воды – вода тут невероятная, местами такие пейзажи, что хочется просто стоять и скриншотить, да и в целом дизайн локаций уютен ровно настолько, чтобы ощутить себя на реальном острове и прочувствовать его атмосферу. За всё это создателям однозначный респект.
Если делать короткий вывод – Call Of The Sea показалась мне во многом скучной, затянутой, банальной, но местами атмосферной и красивой. Если кого-то зацепит ещё и сюжет – тем, наверное, будет совсем здорово, хотя любителям Лавкрафта может зайти при условии, что они не ищут здесь новизны. По поводу головоломок советовать не буду – не знаю, кому подобное насилие над мозгом может понравиться, но мало ли.
Оценка: 6 из 10 – удовлетворительно.
P.S. Я играл в игру периодически на протяжении месяца и всё это время в ней был дрожащий курсор мыши в левой части экрана, а ещё при выходе из головоломок можно застрять в полу и придётся отгружаться. Настоятельно рекомендую разработчикам это исправить.

Disney meets Lovecraft. Light on puzzles, horror, and playtime.

While absolutely beautiful to look at, it could have been longer and more challenging. It's basically exploration on rails, collecting information strewn about and using a bare amount of time to figure out the solution to the puzzle that keeps you from going ahead and do it all over again. It's more like 'What Remains of Edith Finch' without the emotional, right in the feels, moments than Myst, The Witness or Manifold Garden.

This also isn't a horror game, unless you'd classify 'The Shape of Water' as horror. There's some references that make it clear that it's somewhat Lovecraft related (e.g. Miskatonic University) it's not about the player character going insane... if anything, it's the opposite. The writing and build up is fine, the inner monologue is strangely distanced and unconcerned though given the circumstances.

The playtime is rather short, I took my time to find at least some of the secrets and it only took about 5 hours to finish it. If it wasn't for the almost painfully slow movement, you could probably remove a hour from that. I might throw another couple of hours at it to get 100% in a couple of months or years. As with all games in this niche there's almost no replay-ability, but that shouldn't come as a surprise or is a negative.

Still, if you're looking for a couple of hours of slow entertainment with light adventure / puzzle mechanics I think it's worth the price.

Bardzo przyjemna i ładnie wyglądająca gra przygodowa. Przypominała mi gry z serii Myst, ale z łatwiejszymi zagadkami. Na niektórych poziomach było trochę za dużo biegania "w tę i z powrotem", jednak ogólnie jest to świetna pozycja dla fanów zagadek i eksploracji.

Walking simulator with logic / environmental puzzles. Some beautiful scenes. A splash of Cthulhu mythos. A touching ending. Some of the puzzles got a little tiresome walking back-and-forth, but in the end I give it a thumbs up. I enjoyed it.

This is an odd game. Parts of it are brilliant. The voice acting is great. The artwork is really good. Some of the puzzles are fun, even if the journal holds your hand a lot. The act of moving from place to place is not great. There's tons of invisible walls, and small mounds that are impossible to move up or down, so you have to walk all the way over to the stairs to walk down those three stairs, because your character couldn't possibly just step down a two - three foot drop. The story is interesting, although sometimes it feels like there's a weird change in tone between something that just happened, and the next triggered journal entry or voiceover.

All in all, I'm glad I played it, but doubt I'd go back and do it again. There's a whole bunch of things that need to be found for achievements - murals, specific spots or things to click on to get journal entries, hidden objects... But this doesn't really feel like that sort of game. It feels like those were just added in order to pad things out and make it so that there's extra stuff to do for the achivements.

Maravillosa historia, personajes y ambientación. ♥♥♥ unos puzles que incrementan su dificultad de manera progresiva y que tienen el punto exacto para que puedas resolverlos de manera lógica por ti mismo.
No deja de sorprenderte hasta el último momento y desprende todo el cariño y el mimo y la creatividad ♥♥♥ el que se ha hecho.

Si te gustan no sólo las clásicas aventuras gráficas sino las buenas historias, no te lo puedes perder.

¡Bravo Out of the Blue!

Скучное путешествие, скучного персонажа

Не то, чтобы мне много есть чего сказать о игре, но сначала я бы предпочла опуститься в механику, графику и всё другое по технической составляющей игры.
Игра выглядит приятно и работает вполне корректно. Хотя было пара моментов, когда проседало фпс и/или не погружались текстуры, учитывая что внутренности моего ведра не такие уж и плохие и тянут все топовые игры близко к максимальным настройкам.
Думаю баги за последнее время стали отдельной темой обсуждения, за все, почти восемь часов геймплея, я столкнулась только с один очевидным и довольно неприятным багом, из-за которого пришлось перезапускать уровень(это случилось на главе 4-5, точно не помню, я активировала механизм, но он не заработал, а кнопка активации после была недоступна).

Насчёт геймплея... Честно, я люблю небольшие игры основанные на головоломках, по типу The Witness, но темп игры и стиль головоломок мне не особо пришёлся по вкусу. Некоторые головоломки интересные и ты хочешь над ними поработать, но большинство предстают довольно простенькими и не особо увлекательными, либо сложными и непонятными, и не интересными. Игра нагромождена записками, что к середине игры, ты просто уже перестаёшь интересоваться ими и просто протыкиваешь для достижения.

Ну, и самая главная составляющая игры - сюжет. Не интересно. Персонажи скучные. Наблюдать за событиями экспедиции нашего приятеля не увлекает. По-началу может быть можно настроиться на более оптимистичный лад, надеясь, что тебя ждёт сюжет уровня Firewatch, который как бы и не блещет чем-то экстраординарным, но заставляет прочувствовать и влиться в игру. Но нет, здесь всё довольно скудно.
Конечно, здесь приплетён Лавкрафт(которого я немноожечко так читала), даже не знала что он тут есть, пока не увидела тэги(хотя на главе 3 была мыслишка, что есть тут что-то такое). Не сказать что я фанат манеры повествования Лавкрафта, но его отчаянье и устрашение перед неизвестным перевернули в то, что тебе вообще всё равно, что с героиней, что с её мужем и что будет дальше. Так что даже как навеянная Лавкрафтом история, она довольно меркнет на фоне его произведений и более удачных игр на основе книг данного автора.

Не сказать, что я не насладилась игрой от слова совсем, но и ничего нового не получила и желания её снова запускать напрочь отсутствует. Так что я не думаю, что сей продукт стоит покупать, обычная, ничем не примечательная игра.

While I'd really give this game about a 6.5/10, I did play through the whole thing, and it's very clear that a lot of love went into it. I did also get this in a Humble Bundle.

First, the praise- I think the story here avoids a lot of the pitfalls common in Lovecraftian stories. The portrayal of the island's natives isn't insensitive, and the story doesn't try to go too large in scope. No human being can perceive an Elder God without their minds breaking, that's the point, and this story avoids that so major kudos. Nothing revolutionary, but I did enjoy the story. Also, the visuals and music slap. Great atmosphere. The voice acting too. All a bit campy, but it's fun.

The mixed bags- the puzzles. Some of them are great, and some of them are weird and obtuse. A few of them I solved by complete accident while figuring out how the components functioned. I also have mixed feelings on the endings. This game does do the whole "press a button choose an ending" thing, which is a copout, but in cryptic games I prefer to know what choices I'm making. I would have preferred a singular ending, but if they insist on multiple, I'd rather it be done like this.

The bad- the movement. It's sluggish. The run is way too slow, and climbing a ladder takes way too long. Fortunately, this is really my only gripe, but there's a lot of it to do, as puzzle components tend to be pretty far apart.

The conclusion- A perfectly playable puzzle game with an above average Lovecraftian story. May Howard roll in his grave.

Cthulhu fiction that I enjoy actually.
Lovely art direction and.. basaltic technology. Was running really well, glad that it runs on Unreal.

Liked the story and the protagonist. The puzzles were interesting.

Would like devs to make Verne-inspired game, but I am looking forward into American Arcadia. o/

Überwiegend Walking Simulator, die Laufen Abschnitte können sich manchmal etwas ziehen. Die Rätsel sind ganz nett gemacht. Voice Acting fand ich nicht herausragend weil die Sprecherin oft sehr kühl reagiert. Dennoch insgesamt gute Qualität auf English. Die Story durchaus interessant und zusammen mit der Atmosphäre Highlight dieses kleinen Games :) Ich kanns durchaus empfehlen insgesamt.

English:
Walking sim / Puzzler with sometimes tiding walking passages. Not overwhelming but still decent Voice acting. Good Story. Good atmosphere. All in all a nice game.

It is not only one of the best puzzle games but one of the best games I have ever played!

The scenery is breathtaking, it’s like a dream. The puzzles are fun, The chapter 4 is challenging it took me a few hours to solve (it was harder than Sin Cos Tan), and the feeling of comfort after solving it was special, in fact you will feel satisfied after completing each puzzle.

And best of all is the story! I did not expect to see an interesting story in this game, it is very exciting!

So, if you want a challenging puzzle game with a great atmosphere and story, this game is definitely for you.

It's got a pretty well rounded story, solid controls, a nice graphic style, and good lighting. I encountered probably half a dozen graphic glitches: A missing texture in one chapter, culling in one area causing pop-in, and slowdown in one large exterior area to name a few; but, it was nothing that inhibited me finishing the game.

To not spoil anything in the story, the characters are well rounded in the context of the story. Everyone behaves consistently, though you get little backstory for one early character, who exit the story a bit fast then to give you any kind of reaction. I'd say the game really starts to come together around chapter 4, with everything that happens from there on feeling pretty impactful to me. The game ends in a binary choice that you can save prior to making. I think both options were rather well justified and I did go back to enjoy both when I finished the game. Further, after completing the game I did have to sit there a bit and decide which option was best. So it's well written.

In regards to the puzzles, I had to look up 3 answers. 1 I had, but was just a bit off because of the hints given in game. The other two I had 0 chance of solving. The rest of the puzzles though (Quite a few more, I'd say there are about 3-5 per chapter) I got no problem. Only 1 puzzle though, was such that I found it rather difficult: You had to get values from one puzzle, that you translated to symbols with another puzzle, that you then had to convert to a separate set of values based on a note you found, that you then had to open a set of switches with, and set 1 dial based on another bit of evidence I didn't see at all mentioned anywhere. Beyond that monster, everything else was pretty good.

I'd recommend. A point is lost for the lack of polish with those few graphic and performance bugs, and a half point is lost for the more abrupt first bit of story. I'd almost dock a half point for that one monstrous puzzle, but I'm not a big puzzle game person, so I wont.

So yeah: personally I'd say about 8.5/10

A beautiful adventure game with a big heart. The environments are astounding and the puzzles and story tick along nicely. I loved following in the footsteps of Harry's expedition and the neat twists kept me eager to know more. The puzzles blended well with the story and setting and the notepad was always useful. The actors and audio complimented the game well; Norah's voice actress was particularly wonderful and her character was easy to sympathise with - leading to an emotional ending. An absolute gem.

Очень интересная история и ее хорошая подача. Лично мне сюжет запомнится надолго, есть над чем поразмышлять. На выбор две концовки, и тяжело понять какая из них лучше для всех. За сюжетом следишь через дневник.
Головоломки не сильно сложные, но иногда можно голову поломать в попытках понять что как и зачем. Мир исследовать мне понравилось, поэтому фанатично искала точки интереса почти всю игру.
Визуал выглядит красочно, ярко, смотреть одно удовольствие (кроме уровня с кораблем, пока свет не включишь мигалка подбешивает). Имеется хорошая озвучка.
Единственный заметный минус этой игры - не очень хорошая оптимизация. В каких-то локациях совсем незаметно, но есть единичные места где неприятно дропает фпс. Это немного раздражало, но сюжет уж слишком захватывает, поэтому минус опциональный для каждого. Я лично старалась не обращать на это внимания, все-таки в остальном игра проработана просто замечательно.

A first-person puzzle game with a walking sim soul. That means it's quite slow and intends for you to read all the notes and enjoy the view. The story is inspired by Lovecraft but it's not really horror.

Puzzles are not very difficult but also not casual. Expect to be challenged. There is a good amount of clues to nudge you in the right direction, but in the end you will have to think, mostly about patterns and geometry.

The story is quite good and follows the Lovecraftian formula of a slow descent into weirdness. Voice acting is excellent. The only aspect I didn't entirely enjoy was the art style: despite a few beautiful scenes, it's all quite cartoonish, meaning low detail and an overly vivid color palette. It's consistent and polished but somehow seemed like the wrong design decision to me. The sound engineering is excellent, though, and using surround speakers or headphones is highly recommended.

All in all it's a nice experience for people like me, but I suspect that puzzle-heads might find the walking sim aspects tedious, while the walking-sim-heads might find the puzzles too challenging. But, if that combination sounds good to you, you're in for a treat.

Beautiful graphics, immersive environment, interesting story, but so... so.... slow.... to walk around. Got fed up and used a walkthrough for the last chapter as I wanted to see how the story resolved, but with such obtuse puzzles that were either strangely straightforward and a chore to walk between buttons to push, or too weird and I needed some tips to get me through.

Cissy Jones, originally from Boise, Idaho, USA, voiced Norah, the lead character, with the weirdest British/English accent I've ever heard. American media often gets somone to do 'a British Accent' that sounds cut-glass posh and like no-one who's ever set foot in the UK. As far removed from the silver-spoon set as you can get. I've no idea what region of the UK it should be from, and took me out of the game whilst I constantly tried to work out why some parts of sentences sounded reasonably attempted and then some words were very strangely pronounced.

If you have patience to wander round these lovely environments and are a lot better at grinding between buttons in walk-about puzzles than me, you'll enjoy this. Hard to give it a negative as it's great for what it is - just be aware what you're getting yourself into!

Des énigmes à la difficulté progressive, servies par de fort jolis décors. Même si les premiers puzzles sont extrêmement basiques, ça devient un peu plus intéressant sur la fin. L'histoire n'est pas extrêmement bien racontée (trop de voix off), mais elle reste tout de même touchante.

Really nice story and mood, I also loved the puzzles, however they were pretty hard for me sometimes. Overall it was a great story with good narrative.

Call of the Sea is more of an explore-every-corner game than a puzzle game. The puzzles are Myst style, pattern recognition puzzles, but of a much easier variety. If you explore each area, all the relevant hints are compiled in your journal. I had a fun time, but I didn't find anything exceptional here.

Its greatest strength is probably the art direction. Each level matched the art style of the game, but had a distinct vibe. The cinematic sections showed off some neat landscapes. I enjoyed the voice acting even if the story itself drags on.

Overall nice short exploration game which is good if you want a mix of walking simulator and simple Myst style puzzles.

Graphics 10/10
Music 10/10
Voice acting 10/10
Story 8/10

What a gem of a game. Fully immersive and captivating, I highly recommend.
The scenery and music within the game is phenominal.

You play first person, as Norah, who is searching for her husband on an island in the middle of the ocean.
Traversing through lush greenery, beautiful caves and underwaterscapes, there are plenty of places to explore and find hidden notes and items to help you with your quest.
With an easy to follow notebook that jots down pretty much every clue and image you come across, provides helpful and useful reference material when trying to solve the many puzzles that you encounter.

I found that the story could have been elaborated a little more and felt like there was something missing, however, was still entertaining and should not put you off playing the game. With a couple of pretty well to do voice actors on the cast, I was extremely impressed with the full voiced script. The music and ambience is wonderful and fits perfectly with each scenario. Finally, the graphics are out of this world. So realistic and pretty to look at no matter which direction you're facing. There is no expense spared. Even in the corners of the map, where no one would really look, the attention to detail in the foliage, buildings, caverns etc is phenominal.

Definitely would recommend.

Un juego al que no le tenía demasiadas expectativas, pero me logró sorprender. Una historia interesante, ♥♥♥ acertijos no muy difíciles (ésto gracias a que todo lo que necesitas para poder resolverlos se va anotando progresivamente en una libreta) y unos gráficos muy buenos.
Lo recomiendo totalmente :)

A fun and engaging adventure game, if a little short. I enjoyed the overall light atmosphere and Norah as a protagonist is a treat. The game's puzzles are pleasantly challenging, not too easy and not simple 'get item x to advance', at multiple points requiring observational awareness to solve, but they are also far from super challenging or frustrating and there weren't many occasions where I felt the puzzles were expecting ridiculous things from me. Definitely recommend it overall, very enjoyable!

Call of the Sea is an interesting story telling game. You are playing as a woman, called Norah that she is searching for his husband. The story is nice, overwhelming and cute. The puzzles are straightforward and most of the time you will find the solution without break your head, just look around for clues. I will suggest this puzzle / adventure game for anyone that want to enjoy a cozy game.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In the chapter 5 you will encounter some puzzles that have to do with time. I found out that these challenges are kindly bugged at the moment I am writing this review, so before solving any of them, do a quicksave because the bug can break the game and you will not be able to progress forward.

Call Of The Sea, más que un juego, es un regalo para los amantes de los puzles y las buenas historias contadas en un entorno inmersivo, colorista y exótico.

Tiene algo de Lovecraft, pero no desde el punto de un título de terror ni del típico descenso a la locura de sus personajes. Pero sí de un acercamiento misterioso a lo que oculta el océano.

La aventura podría resultar solitaria, ya que nuestra protagonista se ha encaminado sola en este viaje pero, lejos de eso, la sensación que producen los escenarios es familiar y confortable. Además, la música acompaña de forma genial en momentos concretos.

Personalmente, tiendo a marearme ♥♥♥ el control en la mayoría de los juegos, pero en este caso el manejo del personaje es suave y ligero, especialmente al correr (he jugado ♥♥♥ mando).

Respecto a la rejugabilidad, es la primera vez que termino un juego (después de unas 9 horas) y automáticamente quiero volver al lugar y terminar de completar algunos detalles de la historia.

Para obtener algunos logros concretos tendrás que rejugar algún capítulo pero, créeme, es un lugar al que querrás volver.

Nos vemos en el mar

Decent. Better for beginners of the genre.

I will recommend this. It's a wonderful beginner puzzle game. My mom seems to enjoy it, and she usually doesn't get into these types of "Myst" style puzzles.

The visuals are beautiful. The atmosphere they create is mesmerizing.

The writing is good from a technical standpoint, but the story is full of gaps.

Character's lack motivation, depth, the conclusions drawn by Norah are often contrived and forced upon the player. The narrative is rolled out in a very convoluted and hamfisted way - large chunks of it often revealed in single line or two of dialogue, then, other portions just drip fed through the very typical vectors of finding letters, notes, and photographs that all just happen to be lying around constantly.

In addition to having some "Myst" like qualities, this game is absolutely a member of the "found narrative" style which became popular a few years back. Why or how a 5 person expedition brought something like 36 tents, 12 shovels, and more crates than a CS:GO level, across miles of rugged, mountainous jungle terrain only to leave these items behind literally everywhere is beyond me. Not that this game was going for realism, but, there is little attempted elegance in this methodology either - the neatly abandoned camps begin to hurt the immersion at some point and become more of a "oh here is where my next clue will be" sign post than a valid environmental or narrative element.

That being said, the story is... fine. Your basic black ooze turns you evil or something ritual tale - nothing too outstanding or anything you haven't heard before.

The puzzles are very easy. Only maybe once was it not instantly clear to me exactly what needed to be done (and I am by no means a master at this genre). Puzzles are fairly confined to small spaces or a few "rooms".

The puzzles also seemed to get easier toward the end of the game. Essentially just "here are five buttons, look for wall paintings that tell you what order to push them" over and over again. By the end they were really nothing more than opening doors. It was more of a visual experience than anything else at that point, and a very pleasing visual experience at that.

So... I'm mixed. It's a good game for beginners of the genre or non gamers. Look to obduction, however, for a more immersive puzzle experience.

третьего дня по совету проверенных камрадов сразу же после релиза приобрел данную игру - Call of the sea. сразу же задыхаясь от жадности побежал скачивать. ну что ж, графика и сюжет - мое почтение. Настоящей глыбой была эта Нора и ее муж Генри! касаемо графония: даже мои привыкшие к красивым видам глаза поначалу отказывались воспринимать столь красивую картинку. по итогу ощущения от игры - АТАС, со многими другими инди проектами такого уровня не идет ни в какое сравнение. Проходил так весь день. данную игру настоятельно рекомендую к приобретению. Все это как водится - лирика. настоящий обзор далее.


на самом то деле я не соврал, игра дейстаительно превосходная. еще на старой презентации подсмотрел ее среди прочих (летом 20 года чтоли, а может раньше). очень зацепила графика, (тащусь от картинки по типу The long dark, firewatch), озвучка (героиню озвучила та же актриса, которая озвучивала делайлу из файрвотча. очень приятный голос, который отлично подошел и актерская игра на высшем уровне), музыка. к слову, последняя здесь не очень цепляет в начале, но где то после третьей главы становится хорошей и более запоминающейся. ну и вообще еще сеттинг заслуживает отдельного внимания. по общему ощущению сильно напомнило мульт "тарзан" и "атлантиду" (вторую прям очень сильно напомнило. чувствуется, что геймдизайнеры много позаимствовали оттуда).

сюжет (без спойлеров) очень хорош и приятно подан. иногда все кажется излишне пафосным(некоторые реплики героини), но это так или иначе во многом сглаживается и объясняется по ходу игры, так что это скорее придирка и мало кто поймет о чем речь и обратит внимание вообще. но есть все же действительно немаловажный недочет - лор недораскрыт. даже если собрать все фрески, артефакты и тд остается ощущение недосказанности

геймплей простенький: каждая глава это отдельная локация, которую мы исследуем, попутно решая головоломки. какие то из них простые, какие то нет. ничего необычного, но все они интересные, хотя часто приходится мотаться из одного конца карты в другой, чтобы переключить какой нибудь тумблер. если ошибся - беги заново. но в целом, это не сильно раздражает.

итог: прошел игру за 8 часов с большим удовольствием, денег своих стоит однозначно. любителям условно медитативных игр рекомендую к покупке

Purtroppo non riesco a finire il gioco per via del movimento della visuale, soprattutto quando cammina, che mi provoca una forte nausea. Se si potesse togliere la feature dell'oscillamento sarebbe un gioco molto carino per la storia super interessante e per gli enigmi. Sono molto dispiaciuta di non riuscire più ad andare avanti.

Molto bello. Purtroppo corto. In generale gli enigmi sono semplici, solo un paio ti costringono ad impegnarti davvero. La storia è bella. Il mito di Chtulhu è inserito bene, non è un pretesto. Avrei voluto lo sfruttassero un po' di più ma sono soddisfatto.
Se amate avventure e rompicapo prendetelo. Magari se in offerta , ma lo dico solo per la longevità non eccessiva.
Consigliato.

Ещё один зов...

"Группа людей отправляется в экспедицию в таинственные неизведанные земли, окутанные легендами, и там..." - вот он, универсальный шаблон для художественного произведения, который будоражил моё воображение с самых ранних лет. Знали бы вы, сколько раз по моему заказу в похожие путешествия отправлялись пластмассовые воины, и сталкивались в походах с резиновыми динозаврами, сколько раз устремлялись навстречу приключениям раскрашенные цветными фломастерами персонажи, и в непроходимых дебрях натыкались на неизвестных науке рисованных монстров.

Аналогичную основу имеет и сюжет данной игры, поэтому она завладела моим вниманием весьма скоро. Не мудрено. Это всё равно, что помотать пакетиком с влажным кормом у голодного кота перед носом.

Однако, по мере прохождения, я всё больше убеждался, что Call of the Sea вполне можно отнести к произведению из категории "мифы Ктулху", и теперь пройдя игру полностью, уполномочен заявить, что в моём личном рейтинге игр, вдохновлённых работам Говарда, нашего, Филипса, нашего, Лавкрафта, Зов моря не сумел превзойти только ещё один зов - Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth (старый и очень недобрый).

В отличие от зловещей страшилки 2009 года (Call of the Sea спокойная и размеренная), ничто не будет угрожать физическому и психическому здоровью игрового персонажа, а единственной сложностью станет решение головоломок (вряд ли способных загнать игрока в тупик).

Невыразимый ужас со своей стороны не намерен Вас здесь сильно шугать, и позволит сосредоточиться на атмосфере и сюжете - главных достоинствах данной игры. Продукт получился качественным и стильным. Всецело рекомендую.

If this game's main character were writing this review:

"Oh my, this seems to be some sort of review area where people can leave their opinions. That's just wonderful, because I'm just FULL of opinions!"

"And look at this! Some sort of mechanical device with letters. Is this called a 'keyboard?' It seems that I can press the buttons to type out words. How wonderful!"

"Writing this review reminds me of my extremely sad and tragic backstory. You see, I was diagnosed with a terrible and mysterious illness that forces me to never shut the ♥♥♥♥ up. I can't blame my husband for disappearing to a tropical island to get away from me. Oh, wherever could he be?!"

"Does this review page have a word limit? Golly, I hope not! To limit my words would be to suppress my very soul!"

"I do ever so love this tropical island. The long, long, excessively long walks from puzzle to puzzle give me a great opportunity to drone on pointlessly with boring exposition, which breaks the mood in an otherwise atmospheric setting. Some people might even call this peaceful, if not for me blabbing on. Oh, look at me! I'm blabbering on again. What's wrong with me? This reminds me of when..."

Story was very good and graphics were stunning! However, progression through said story was incredibly frustrating; none of the puzzles would function unless you had interacted with literally every single item present in the game up to that point. The only way to tell which items could be interacted with was by bumping into it and looking for a small white dot.
Also, many of the puzzles were split up with great distances between all of the parts meaning most of the gameplay is just walking (agonizingly slowly) back and forth between levers. Or looking for the one symbol you missed five minutes ago.
Once you finish holding W (or joystick forwards) for the 7 hours it took me to complete this, you're greeted with a conclusion that feels thrown together at best. Walking is frustratingly slow, and there are absolutely 0 stairs that can be cut short or low platforms that can be walked off of to save time.
I did not believe the negative reviews when I purchased this but believe me, the pretty colors are not enough to make this worth your time!

非常高饱和度的美丽景色 与 非常糟糕的关卡设计

首先35G的体积,把我对这款游戏的期望抬升至很高。
进入游戏后对于2020来说平均水准的画面,毕竟是虚幻4引擎。
全程的配乐属于及格水平。全程语音。
===以上是这个游戏的全部优点了===
下面开始说缺点
1.剧情逻辑糟糕,一开始就提示主角岛上很危险,然后最后主角自己又说把自己骗上去。然后很多地方做得又太牵强刻意了。
2.一开始以为是新的解谜游戏,结果解谜要素可能只占了5%吧。都是一些是个解谜就会有的迷题。
3.散步模拟器,中途有两个关卡,解谜途中的跑腿距离非常远,而且往返跑,很麻烦枯燥。因为是直播玩的,就挺尴尬的。角色走路设置得十分缓慢
4.bug碰到2、3个,不过还能理解。不算事儿
5.场景有些莫名其妙。你男人带的帐篷有点太多了哈,随处扎营,铁锅和箱子随身带一堆的。然后第三个场景突然画风变得很奇怪。我还以为我又打开了COC的最后一关。。。既视感非常强。跟整体游戏剧情也不搭调。云里雾里,不知道想要给玩家表达展现一个什么样的场景。

总结,这个游戏让想解谜的玩家不能好好解谜,让想看剧情的玩家没看到那么理想的剧情,可能对于喜欢看风景的玩家来说挺合适的吧。
毕竟这个游戏有35G。
整体给我感觉莫名其妙。

独立游戏,道险且路长。
好的解谜,玩一个少一个。

游戏做得最好的可能是最后两口子一起唱了半首歌吧

Das Spiel war unerwartet anders und dennoch sehr schön. Die Geschichte fängt so merkwürdig an, dass man in den Bann gezogen wird. Ich wollte unbedingt wissen, wie es weiter geht. Das man Ende noch die Wahl hat, fand ich super! Manche Rätsel waren wirklich nicht einfach (oder mir fehlt es an Logik :D)

Die Grafik fand ich super angenehm, nicht zu überladen, aber detailreich genug. Die Spielmechanik hat einwandfrei funktioniert. Ich hatte nach einem Kapitel einen Bug und konnte das Kapitel nicht mehr laden. Ich hatte das Spiel danach einige Tage liegen gelassen, es kam ein Update und ich konnte normal weiterspielen. <3 Der Support hatte es sich auch angeschaut.

Schon lange nicht mehr ein gutes Adventure-Rätsel-Storygame gespielt. Es war einfach magisch.

Feel free to follow my review page! and my twitch https://www.twitch.tv/nightserg

The gist of it:
Call of the Sea is a short story-focused adventure game, based on a very known mythos, with an average amount of puzzles to solve just to keep things fresh a bit, a game that doesn't do anything truly special.

👍 The good parts:
+Splendid visuals in some of the locations.
+Great voice acting.
+Story is predictable but it can get quite emotional.

👎The bad parts:
-Movement is too slow, even when running.
-Too short.
-Puzzles are below average in difficulty.

Story
Look, it doesn't take a scientist, philosopher, or a famous writer to know what the story is about in the first few minutes/hours of the game. I won't tell you but if you haven't figured it out after the intro then perhaps the story might surprise you more than it did me.

It's pretty obvious how the game will turn out and I was hoping until the last point that it would surprise me. It did not but it did leave me a bit emotional regarding some aspects of it. You play as Nora who suffers from an unknown illness. Her husband went on an expedition to find a cure but she stops hearing from him. Soon after she receives a package regarding her husband with a few items and she decides to go look for him and that's where the game starts. You reach the island your husband was last seen and you slowly uncover what happened to him and the crew he was with.

As you explore and figure out what went on you will slowly figure out where the story is going. It was decent with some emotional scenes but those were carried out by the voice actress rather than the writing. The ending stuff is a low blow and some will find it as a cheap way of delivering a strong story while others might like it. I was in-between.

Story rating: 7.5/10

Gameplay
It's a story-focused game as I've mentioned but you'll be walking a lot to solve some average in difficulty puzzles. They are very logical, and you'll in no way ever feel like the solution is stupid as it's on rare occasions, the case with puzzle games.

To make things easy Nora writes everything of importance in her notebook so you won't have to walk back and forth a lot to figure out the correct symbols for that specific puzzle or whatnot. Other than just walking around figuring stuff you also interact with objects around the map which will uncover more of what happened on the island.

I wish I could say more about the gameplay but that's basically it. The puzzles had the potential to be difficult and complex, Myst-like even, but alas they chose the simple route.

Gameplay rating: 7/10

Audio
The best thing about the game is Nora and her voice actress. I mentioned the story is predictable but emotional at some points and it's due to the voice acting. I have to give it praise because she felt incredibly genuine but not just to the character but to the time period as well. The tone of her voice, the way she repeats "old pal" genuinely felt like someone from the '30s, like those old movies we used to watch.

There are of course other voices in the game which are fine but nothing out of the ordinary. The soundtrack is very limited, with just a few emotional songs but they're pretty good, especially the music box one. As for the rest of the sounds, they're all standard nothing worth writing about.

Audio rating: 8/10

Graphics, performance and tech analysis
The game looks stunning artistically and while some textures/assets are not very detailed the overall aesthetic of the game and its locations are very pleasant to the eye. It is certainly not a bleak or boring-looking game with its colorful art.

It also performs very well and I had absolutely no issues running it. There are no bugs whatsoever or at least I did not encounter any so all is good. The levels themselves are very linear and you won't have trouble finding your path around the levels.

Graphics, performance and tech analysis score: 8/10

Conclusion
So is Call of the Sea a good game? It certainly is, but beware, this is not a puzzle game despite having some, at least not what you might expect. It's a casual experience but worth the price if the 6 hours to complete is something you have no issues with.

Final score: 7.6/10

Феноменально красивая игра с отличной историей и кошмарными головоломками, не поддающимися никакой логике. Играть точно надо, особенно если вам нравятся умные симуляторы ходьбы в духе Firewatch и Everybody gone to the rapture, но с головоломками готовьтесь к выносу мозга на уровне классических Myst.

I realllllly wanted to like this game. The graphics were o great, and the story was lovely....at first. After the first two chapters, I felt like the story became really stupid and steered away from the 1930's lovecraftian vibes. I got to the point where i just googled the answers to the puzzles so i could be done with it. Not very happy with the time i spent playing this.:/

Мне нравятся игры головоломки, поэтому решила попробовать и эту игру.
  • Из плюсов: музыкальное сопровождение и озвучка, история со смыслом и даже несколько концовок.
    Сами головоломки для меня были средние, постоянно нужно перемещаться туда сюда ходить бродить между локациями, чтобы включить, к примеру, электричество и тд.
  • Из минусов: Чтобы собрать все очивки нужно проходить игру минимум 2 раза, потому что имеются очивки из разряда "Пройди главу второй раз", а я понимаю, что второй раз не стала бы проходить эту игру. Плюс надо в каждый уголок тыкаться и искать все записки и всё на что можно тыкнуть, чтобы получить еще одну очивку.
На один раз игра хорошая, если вам пофиг на очивки - смело берите

Call of the Sea is a fine addition to 3D puzzle games - the story and writing overflow with sentimentality, which may either delight or put you off, but then I've played games like To the Moon, so I didn't mind. The puzzles are pretty good, more tests of observational and listening skills rather than riddles really. Norah helps you out by logging pretty much everything in a notebook, which keeps track of the narrative and makes sure you always know what you need to do with regards to the puzzles. Some players may regard this as excessive hand-holding, but for me everything was fine. The game was still challenging enough without being frustrating.

The visuals captured the essence of the lonely Pacific island and its secrets wonderfully well, and there are also sections where you get to swim underwater, which are not exactly Soma or Bioshock level, but still a welcome change of pace. Before I played the game, the screenshots and reviews of it initially gave me The Room vibes, and overall Call of the Sea mostly lived up to those expectations.

Very nice and atmospheric adventure / puzzle game, with really good voice acting and a well done yet predictable story if you know any lovecraft. The puzzles were interesting but not too hard, and the various notes and story bits were nicely done. Recommend!

I think ripping my fingernails out would have been a more enjoyable pastime. The walking speed is so slow that I've only been running the entire time and I'm near the end of the game. And the running speed is not fast enough to get you around the large areas later in the game without it feeling like torture, especially when the puzzles have you running from one side of the area to the other. And the puzzles are either really simple that you don't need the clues or the clues are so stupid that you don't realize that it was there.

GOD I can't tell you how much I hated puzzles and puzzle games before this, but now I absolutely ADORE the idea of finding more just like Call of the Sea to play with my girlfriend! This is so incredibly immersive with the visuals, controls, and ESPECIALLY sounds! My GF said it could use more jumpscares but we're not done with it yet so maybe it has more. Anyway I love it.

Un simpatico juego de Puzzle en FPS.
No puedes ver tus piernas pero eso no te impide caminar mucho en este juego en el cual exploras una isla misteriosa, mientras revelas sus misterios!
Los Puzzle son de dificultad media, no muy faciles pero tampoco dificiles!.

Lamentablemente steam no tiene un boton MEH asi que tengo que poner que no recomiendo este juego.

El juego es lindo y la historia ponele que esta bien. Pero los puzzles son muy fáciles o a veces un poco ilógicos. El personaje se mueve muy lento y en algunos puzzles tenes que recorrer distancias muy largas y se vuelve tedioso. La forma en que esta presentada la narración a veces carece de sentido, el personaje no reacciona de forma correcta ante las cosas. Actúa como si tuviera dos neuronas o a veces no retiene información y pone diálogos que no tienen sentido ♥♥♥ lo que descubrimos 5 minutos atrás (quizás porque el juego esperaba que tomes un camino y elegiste otro).
Además tengo que decir que el juego me comio GPU, al punto que casi tuve que refundearlo. Por suerte poniendo al mínimo y activando vsync se soluciono pero claramente es un juego mal optimizado (incluso 3 años después).

Si pensas comprarlo diría que solo lo hagas en descuento, en mi opinión no vale a precio completo. 6/10

I liked this game overall.
There was a lot about this game that irked me and I didn't like. there was one puzzle in particular that broke me down and i had to use a walk through, but that ending made it all worthwhile. Bravo!

If you are a fan of lovecraftian stories and stories about long lasting love, then this game is for you. Just be sure to push through to the end.

Great atmospheric story/puzzle game! Puzzles weren't that hard, but it could sometimes be a bit difficult to understand what you were supposed to do. Also some characters' motivations didn't seem that natural compared to what happened in the story.

The is a gorgeous puzzle game with surprisingly no horror despite the lovecraft theming. Unless you're scared by a tiny jpeg of a tropical fish in your general vacinity, or passing a distant squid that likes you and is harmless. So it's horrifying, 10/10.

But seriously, vaguely swimming toward a set of distant red eyes for a few seconds is the scariest it gets. I have a few small issues, one part of the "sunken" chapter gets a bit tedious if you get the order wrong. but it's a fun little romp with a nice enough story. I'd probably wait for a sale, but an interesting little game!

O jogo é lindo, mesmo tendo inspiração no universo do Lovecraft, o jogo brinca com uma paleta viva e saturada pra momentos escuros e melancólicos.

O game como um jogo de puzzle com pitadas de exploração, pra pessoas que gostam do gênero é bom, pra quem não gosta tanto, pode ser que os puzzles se tornem cansativos.

A história recheada de mistério, pra mim, é um ponto forte e a narrativa do jogo é muito boa. Ele vai te contando através de diários e cartas que os personagens vão deixando no ilha, com comentários da protagonista.

O jogo é ótimo, crédito especial pra trilha sonora única e maravilhosa.

Primer juego de un estudio español. Se trata de una aventura gráfica minimalista, ya que, básicamente, lo único que debemos hacer es avanzar y resolver los puzzles que se nos plantean (no tendremos que recoger ningún tipo objeto ni intentar mil combinaciones ♥♥♥ ellos para poder continuar).

Su punto fuerte es la historia, en la que encarnaremos a una "exploradora" en busca de su marido perdido de una isla de la Polinesia, dónde desentrañará los secretos (lovecraftianos) que esta esconde.

Juego de corta duración, ♥♥♥ un buen apartado gráfico, que, a pesar de haberme gustado, no me ha terminado de llenar (tal vez por el factor de ser bastante walking simulator). Aun así, es recomendable, sobre todo si lo encuentras de oferta.

The story line is interesting but the endings are unfulfilling for the slog that the game puts you through. If you like puzzles, this is for you but for me it was a chore because you had to keep going back and forth and there were puzzles within puzzles and I just didn't care that much.

한글 번역이 가끔 거슬리는 걸 빼면 좋은 게임이었다. 영어가 되면 영어로 플레이하는 것이 좋을 것이다. 한글판은 엔딩 직전 중요한 장면에 자막이 다른 걸로 교체되어 나와서 몰입을 깰 수 있다.

단점만 말한 것 같지만 나처럼 포인트앤클릭 어드벤처 게임을 좋아한다면 만족할 수 있을 것이다. 도전과제를 100% 다 모으진 못했지만 도전과제 모으는 것도 쉬운 편이고. 다른 리뷰를 보고 걷는 속도가 그렇게 짜증나나 싶어서 마음의 준비를 했는데 그렇게 느리진 않다. 어드벤처 게임을 하다 보면 이런 걸음 속도는 종종 나온다. 퍼즐은 좀... 쉬운 편이라 퍼즐 게임 좀 해봤다 싶은 사람들은 공략 없이 술술 깰 듯.

엔딩은 두 가지 중에 하나를 고르게 되기 때문에 다른 엔딩도 스스로 보고 싶다면 선택지가 나올 때쯤에 수동 저장해라. 자동 저장은 6장 처음까지만 해당되는 듯. 내가 고른 엔딩이 왠지 트루 엔딩이 아닌 것 같은데, 나는 그 엔딩이 옳다고 생각한다.

Un petit jeu d'énigmes qui vous tiendra en halène pour 6h environ. Nous somme sur du Lovecraft très accessible, l'histoire est prenante, angoissante par moment, mais ne vous attendez pas à faire des cauchemars ou sauter dans votre siège. Esthétiquement c'est très réussi, la bande son est bonne, les énigmes sont parfois très difficiles mais bien pensées globalement. Faites un bon voyage!

非常棒的一款冒险解密游戏,可以称之为艺术品。解密设计非常好,难度适中,非常合我胃口,剧情很巧妙的穿插在解密中,让人沉浸其中,最后发现这是个凄美的爱情故事,通关后久久不能忘怀。流程四五个小时左右,因为有剧情穿插其中既不长也不短,刚刚好。缺点有两点:1、走路有点慢,其中一章需要跑上跑下很折磨,其他时候还好。2、晕3d慎入,我玩fps长大的人玩完这款游戏后也很头疼(可能因为我用的手柄)。总之瑕不掩瑜,能玩这么优秀的作品再让我头疼一次我也愿意。

Hezká interaktivní hádanková 3D adventura.

Sledujeme příběh Nory, ženy, která se vydává na tajuplný ostrov, aby našla svého ztraceného manžela. Ten se vydal na onen ostrov najít lék na její nemoc, nemoc která ji pomalu ale jistě zabíjí. V průběhu hry však drahá Nora, najde víc, než by čekala.

Je to „klasický“ příběh, kde jdeme v krocích předchozí expedice a zjišťujeme co se jim stalo, s čím se setkali a jak všichni dopadli. Rozhodně příběh patří k hnacím prvkům hry.

Hratelnost je posazena na prozkoumávání prostředí a sbírání nápověd pro hádanky, na které při hře narazíme. Příběh je z velké části vyprávěn skrz různé fotografie nebo papírové záznamy, které po sobě její manžel zanechal. Nora si vše píše do deníku tak, aby měl hráč vše důležité před sebou a mohl se tak lépe poprat s nástrahami, které pro něj tvůrci přichystali. Složitost hádanek byla velmi dobrá, a celkově mi dvě z nich docela slušně zamotaly na chvíli hlavu (čočka, slova). Naštěstí jsem vše vyřešil bez nahlížení do návodu, v této době internetu je to o to lákavější a jedním klikem na dosah ruky. Eureka moment při dostání nápadu, jak vše vyřešit, je vždycky k nezaplacení.

Vizuálně je hra hezká, zvolený art styl dokresluje správnou atmosféru, ať už se jedná o krásu lesa, nebo děsivou bouřku. Sem tam se ukážou jisté technické problémy, jako je doskakování nebo problikávání textur. Na můj v kus se i moc herních povrchů nadměrně lesklo, až mě z toho boleli oči.

Herní design není špatný, ale postava se se sprintem pohybuje pořád moc pomalu. Časté jsou i pasáže, kdy se musíme kus vracet a v ten moment opravdu jen držíme šipku dopředu po několik minut. Do těchto míst by se ideálně hodil hrdinky vnitřní monolog nebo něco pro zaujmutí pozornosti. Lezení po žebřících je urputně pomalé. Tempo hry tím velmi utrpělo.

Až na těchto pár výtek se jednalo o hezkou atmosférickou adventuru, se zajímavých příběhem a hádankami, kterou dohrajete za necelých šest hodin.

I got this game as part of a humble bundle and was pleasantly surprised. The puzzles were just the right difficulty to keep the narrative flowing. If you get stuck you won't be for very long because all the info you need is contained within the notes the main character keeps (as you discover things). I enjoyed the story, definitely some lovecraftian elements going on. This is not the kind of game where you make big narrative choices that alter the course of the game. It is instead a nice jaunt through an interesting environment where exploration is rewarded and a story is told through solid voice acting, objects, notes, and puzzles. If that sounds good to you, you would like this. I did.

Also there were a couple songs in the soundtrack that I really liked.

A really great entry into the Lovecraft mythos that provides a twist on the Shadow Over Innsmouth setup. What really stands out, though, is that the environments are just gorgeous to look at, where even beyond the design of everything, the colors are just so lush and vibrant. Sometimes I just wanted to stare at everything. But the palette served the story well, where it was less so a descent into madness, as one expects from a Lovecraftian game, but more of a rise into sanity; existential affirmation instead of existential dread. It was really just a lovely game.

TL;DR
Call of the Sea is a satisfying, thematic puzzle/exploration game that I can definitely recommend.

Graphics
Although the graphics at times feel simple, Call of the Sea conveys a sense of wonder and beauty through the visuals. They serve their purpose in supporting the story and add to the plot. A consistent visual theme is maintained which keeps the player grounded and conveys important information while helping subconsciously filter out background details. This really helps highlight the key details in puzzle and exploration sections of the game. The locales feature big setpieces to draw the player’s attention and really sell it as being larger than life.

Audio
The audio is well done. The voice acting is good and the characters feel real, you can hear the emotion when the characters speak. The only complaint I have is that at times, especially near the beginning, a lot of exposition is conveyed through dialogue and it feels a tiny bit forced. The environmental audio helps keep the player in the moment and sell the setting.

Story/Plot
I can’t say much about the story or plot without spoiling it, since the entire game revolves heavily around it. It’s somewhat cliche but it’s well executed and tugs on some emotional strings. The story is compelling, interesting, and keeps the game moving forward. I enjoyed it and I think it’s got some potential as an allegory if you interpret it that way. The pacing is good and it kept me interested the whole way.

Gameplay
Call of the Sea focuses on puzzles and exploration, which it does well. It starts fairly basic at the beginning and gets more complicated as you progress through the game. They're enjoyable and don't get so complicated that I was overwhelmed, but were pleasantly challenging. There were one or two instances where I felt slightly stuck and had to step back, recheck areas I had previously explored, or rethink a puzzle from a new angle, but for the majority of the game it flowed well and made me feel good about

Misc
This game is a short one, my first playthrough took about 5 hours. The pacing felt good and it was satisfying to finish the game within a single evening.
There are 34 achievements, 23 of which I was able to get on my first playthrough without hunting for them. There’s definitely room for multiple playthroughs to hunt for the rest of the achievements if that’s your vibe.
Size on Disk - 11.84GB.

Conclusion
Overall I really enjoyed Call of the Sea. It was short but sweet, it made me think but didn’t confuse me. Definitely worth the asking price ($22 CAD at time of writing).

It's a good narrative, kinda fun, good graphics and landscape. Enjoyable on certain extents. My expectations were much higher when I saw the trailer, somehow I feel underwhelmed. Not to say that I didn't enjoy, neither that I wouldn't recommend the game, I did enjoy it for sure. But, I kinda expected more. i don't know why! I was too excited to get my hand on this game and that's probably on me. For an 8 hour of play time with 70% of the achievements, I got my money's worth. I hope you do too.

Ambientación detallada y preciosista inspirada en las obras de H.P Lovecraft.

Acompañaremos a Norah Everhart en busca de su marido, quien ha desaparecido en una expedición en las islas del sur. Deberemos resolver distintos tipos de puzzles (palancas, símbolos, ordenación de elementos, entre otros sistemas) para descubrir cuál ha sido el destino de Harry Everhart y los motivos por los cuales se embarcó.

Norah tomará nota en su cuaderno de viaje de todo aquello que le resulte impactante o interesante. Este cuaderno de bitácora nos servirá de referencia a la hora de completar las distintas pruebas.

Aviso de sensibilidad/Trigger warning: Incluye menciones a distintas formas de violencia y terror (no visibles en cinemática o jugables)

Fittingly, given its protagonist, this is a game most suited to those that like to take their time exploring. After all, though this is primarily a puzzle game (think: The Witness, and its tendency to move the player from puzzle to puzzle - the pretty environments serving as little more than eye-candy), it's Norah's overabundant observations that really do most of the heavy lifting, here. Indeed, though a lot of them can be skipped guilt-free (they're journal entries describing what the player just saw, or heard), it is these that emphasize Norah's love for archaeology, and her missing husband. The former is deeply tied to the game-play; each puzzle interesting enough in isolation, but really shines as a part of a greater, overall mythology. As for the latter, on that falls a lot of the emotional weight, and it is handled thoughtfully, and maturely.

Though the time spent doing one, versus the other would have one conclude the opposite, I would in fact suggest that this game is a love story, first and foremost. Nonetheless, there is plenty here for both kinds of gamer.

If you like this, consider: Amnesia: Rebirth

I thought this would be… I don’t know what I thought this would be. A mystery-puzzle-game, maybe. A story about a woman who travels to a mysterious, deserted island in order to find her missing husband. She has to solve puzzles while finding out more about her husband’s fate, and the game will be relaxed about it, so probably no enemies (maybe one or two scripted chase scenes) and no survival-gameplay. While on the island, she learns more about the (possibly) racist history of the natives. There was the possibility that something supernatural would play a role in the story, but that chance wasn’t very high.
Well… I was right, but I also was so very wrong.
Okay, so the game starts, the screen shows all the logos, the screen fades to black. And then a strange voice begins to speak, guttural in its tone, and the subtitles read: “Nogephaii wgha’nagl, mgepr’luh fhalgof’n…”
Cue to me to start giggling in disbelief. Never would I have thought that this would be a game tied to Lovecraft, that this would feature a horrifying elder god. This didn’t seem like a horror game.
And it wasn’t, to my surprise. It is a very relaxing experience, walking through the beautiful island while solving puzzles. Of course, being Lovecraftian, there are a few creepy moments of reading about people going insane and voices whispering to you, but apart from that it is a very un-horrorlike game with a great story (that was sort of predictable after playing for a while). I won’t spoil anything, but it was very refreshing to see this entirely different approach in atmosphere to a setting that usually is full of madness and despair.
8/10, the most relaxing Lovecraft-game I’ve ever played!

A much more colorful take on the lovecraftian mythos than usual, which was very refreshing! Had some really nice vistas and locations. Dialogue is decent, and the story is pretty good and comes with some interesting turns. The puzzles don't really have many recurring or inventive mechanics, they are your typical "remember these icons and apply them in this cipher to find the solution". Even so, the challenge of finding puzzle clues hidden in a beautiful environment was fun enough, and the puzzle difficulty was well paced.

Solve puzzles in a beautiful walking sim. Solid voice acting and soundtrack. Good story but towards chapter 4 there's too much focus on the puzzles and despite the creepy atmosphere there's a loss of urgency and tension. That combined with the fact that there's no action whatsoever in this game made me lose interest. Only buy if you're really into puzzles.

Zu Beginn denkt man, es ist wieder mal ein normales Abenteuer (ohne Action), aber je länger das Spiel dauert, um so mystischer und phantasievoller wird es. Die Gestaltung erinnert manchmal an M.C. Escher, ist z.T. düster, dann aber auch wieder einfach nur sehr schön. Es ist eine Art "Selbstfindung" für die Hauptperson. Sehr zu empfehlen.
Achtung: die Grafik-Auflösung muss auf "episch" gestellt werden, sonst kann man die Rätsel nicht lösen, weil Details nicht zu erkennen sind.

但是初期有些很吓人的场景,比如突然出现的鬼脸(?)之类的,导致我半路放弃跑去云,结果云完了就这?这些前期蹦出来吓我的东西跟后面的故事有什么关系??

What a delightful surprise.

The graphics are absolutely gorgeous to look at. The voice acting is superb, and personally, I thought the story was great. I took one break for dinner, but otherwise played this straight through because I was so engrossed.

The puzzles are excellent, though for hardcore puzzle fans, I imagine they may seem a little simple. I found them to be difficult, but not stupidly frustrating.

If you like pretty puzzle adventures with a great story, this is well worth a purchase.

Ein unterhaltsames Lovecraft-Rätselspiel

Zur Story:
Wir spielen als Norah Everhart, die in den 30er Jahren eine namenlose Südsee-Insel bereist. Norah ist auf der Suche nach ihrem verschollenen Ehemann, Harry, der vor einigen Monaten zu einer Expedition dorthin aufgebrochen war. Harry hatte sich damals erhofft, auf besagter Südsee-Insel ein Heilmittel für Norahs rätselhafte Erkrankung zu finden. Als Harry aber nicht von seiner Heilmittel-Such-Expedition zurückkehrt, macht sich Norah auf die Suche nach Harry. Kann Norah die Spuren und Rätsel, die die Insel für sie bereithält, richtig zusammensetzen? Wird Norah ihren geliebten "Old Pal" Harry wiederfinden? Und was wird aus Norahs Krankheit?

"Call of the Sea" erzählt eine spannende Geschichte mit klaren Lovecraft-Einflüssen. Es ist eine Geschichte um Selbsterkenntnis, die sich auf einer idyllischen (und optisch sehr stimmig gestalteten) Südsee-Insel entfaltet. Und es geht letztlich auch um die tiefe, aufrichtige Liebe zwischen Norah und Harry und um die Frage, welche Opfer man bereit ist für diese Liebe zu bringen.

Gameplay:
Innerhalb von 6 Kapiteln steuern wir Norah aus First-Person-Perspektive im Stile eines klassischen Walking-Simulators über die Insel. Dabei erschließen wir uns die Story, indem wir die Umgebung nach Hinweisen untersuchen. Außerdem hält jedes Kapitel einige Rätsel bereit, die wir lösen müssen, um in der Geschichte voranschreiten zu können. Die Rätsel sind dabei teils recht einfach und teils aber auch recht "knackig". Bei einigen Rätseln musste ich mir wirklich etwas Zeit nehmen, um auf die Lösung zu kommen. Dennoch sind alle Rätsel immer fair und lösbar.

Fazit:
Mir hat "Call of the Sea" wirklich gut gefallen, weshalb ich es jedem Rätselfan oder Fans von Laufsimulationen empfehlen würde. Die Geschichte hat deutliche Lovecraft-Einflüsse, was trotz idyllischer Insel-Optik für eine mystische Stimmung sorgt. Dabei bleibt das Spiel aber komplett gruselfrei, was somit im Gegensatz steht zu anderen Lovecraft-Spielen wie etwa "Conarium" oder "Call of Cthulu". Wer düsteren Lovecraft-Grusel mit Jumpscares sucht, ist hier also falsch.

Wer aber ein stimmungsvolles Rätselgame mit sonnigem Südsee-Setting und spannender Story spielen möchte, wird "Call of the Sea" sicher mögen. Spätestens im Sale sollte man zuschlagen.

This is an enjoyable puzzle game with an engaging story and very pretty graphics.

I found the difficulty just about right for my tastes - puzzles that were not too easy but didn't leave you frustrated and running to the internet for solutions.

The only issue I had (and it is not a very big one) was the presence of magnetic reel-to-reel tape recorders in a story set in 1934 - otherwise would definitely recommend!

Je préviens pour ceux/celles qui sont la pour les énigmes qu'elles sont d'une facilité enfantine.
La résolution de celles-ci consiste souvent a trouver un papier sur une table qui vous donne purement et simplement la solution, quand ce n'est pas votre personnage qui vous backseat XD.
Les seules qui vous demanderons un peut de réflexion sont tellement évidentes que ça en rend un peut ridicule toutes les annotations et recherches effectuées par les personnages de l'histoire.

C'est cela dit assez bien conçu et ça conviendras pour des enfants ou débutants dans ce type de jeu.

Je met une note positive car le jeu est très beau et on se laisse porter par l'histoire entre romance et mythe lovecraftien.
Si on fait fi de quelques maladresses de mise en scène.

En fait c'est un très bon simulateur de marche. :)

O hre sa nedá veľa povedať. Hra je o linerárnom postupe kde miestami natrafíte na rôzne puzzle. Celý gameplay je o chodení, riešení hádanok a počúvaní.

Une très belle histoire d’amour et de chasse au trésor même si tragique sur certains aspects. On y joue Norah - une femme atteinte d’une mystérieuse maladie - à la recherche de son mari parti dans une expédition afin d’en trouver le remède. Une histoire lyrique et romancée fortement proche de l’œuvre d’HP Lovecraft « Le Cauchemar d'Innsmouth ». L’histoire se place dans l’univers établi par HP Lovecraft mais il y a un fort décalage entre les œuvres habituelles sur cet univers et celle-ci. L’histoire n’est peu voire pas angoissante et même plutôt envoutante et agréable, à l’image de comment le protagoniste le vit. On prend plaisir à découvrir et avancer contrairement à une histoire classique ou on appréhende l’horreur qui s’installe petit à petit jusqu’au final souvent tragique.
Mettre en place une fin au choix est une très bonne idée selon moi qui évite la frustration de ne pas avoir le choix dans un narratif auquel on prend part. Cela améliore l’immersion car on a plus la sensation d’être dans l’histoire que d’être seulement témoin de celle-ci.

L’ambiance sonore et la bande son sont des merveilles, elles se marient à la perfection avec les décors de chaque chapitre. Elles accompagnent également l’histoire en parfaite symbiose au lieu d’être mise trop en avant.
Cela est un peu gâché par le personnage de Norah qui parle un peu trop. On a ici un surplus d’exposition via les monologues du personnage alors que certains auraient pu être mis en notes ou lettres dans le journal à la place. Surtout ceux du début qui semblent forcer la présentation de la backstory des personnages (référence au dialogue de début qui suit le cauchemar ou on a l’exposition la plus mal amenée à travers le « oh-mon-dieu-ma-boite-a-musique-cassée-offerte-par-ma-mère-morte-il-y-a-deux-ans-de-la-même-maladie-dont-je-suis-atteinte-et-dont-mon-mari-cherche-actuellement-un-remède-et-qui-a-disparu-durant-une-expédition »).

Le jeu est somptueux graphiquement. Très coloré ce qui renforce la fracture vis-à-vis des autres œuvres inspirées du travail d’HP Lovecraft. On est habitué à un univers angoissant, bourré de bâtiments en ruine, de personnages inquiétants et souvent avec un filtre de couleur vert voire bleu omniprésent. Ici c’est l’inverse, on est submergé de magnifiques décors de couleurs vives et chatoyantes. Cela renforce la sensation du protagoniste qui reprend des forces voire revit en arrivant sur l’ile, loin de la souffrance causée par sa maladie.

Le jeu est fluide, très agréable au global. Le seul défaut étant la vitesse de marche très lente de base (pour renforcer la sensation de maladie du protagoniste ?), j’avais la gachette du sprint maintenue quasi pendant tout le jeu.
Les puzzles sont savamment dosés, ni facile ni d’une difficulté injuste. Il n’y a pas vraiment de blocage possible ce qui permet de ne pas perdre de vue l’histoire en s’énervant 7 ans sur une énigme. Aucune des énigmes ne se répète ce qui est fort appréciable.
Le journal est une excellente idée, tant sur le suivi de l’histoire vu par le protagoniste mais surtout sur la résolution des énigmes. Pas besoin de crapahuter partout parce qu’on a oublié un indice, quand il est découvert il est visible dans le journal et peut être consulté directement pendant la résolution du puzzle.
Autre bonne idée : mettre des raccourcis sur certains niveaux afin de ne pas devoir refaire le trajet inverse entièrement (surtout vu la vitesse de marche / course). Même si les chapitres ne sont pas longs, c’est appréciable quand on a oublié un indice de pouvoir revenir plus vite en arrière.
La durée de vie est plus qu’honnête. En prenant mon temps et en refaisant certains niveaux pour des hauts faits ratés j’ai passé entre 7 et 8h.
Aucun bug rencontré.

Côté rejouabilité (utile pour les hauts faits ratés), on dispose d’un menu pratique permettant de sélectionner directement le chapitre à rejouer et qui indique l’état d’avancement sur celui-ci (% de notes, objets caché…). Pas d’obligation de refaire le jeu en entier, le choix est offert au joueur. Les hauts faits ne sont pas punitifs grâce à ce système plutôt que devoir jouer sur les sauvegardes.
Quand les chapitres sont rejoués, le journal n’est pas remis à zéro il est au même stade qu’à la fin du jeu ce qui est plus pratique pour trouver ceux manquant.


Un excellent jeu qui vaut chaque centime dépensé, une excellente expérience narrative reposante à base de puzzle. Un de ces jeux dont on souhaiterait pouvoir tout oublier pour pouvoir le redécouvrir avec le même plaisir que la première fois.

L'histoire de Norah est prenante, surtout bien racontée ce qui la rend touchante sans trop en faire. On a envie d'en découvrir tous les détails et de prendre le temps de comprendre ce qu'il s'est passé. Les différents lieux parcourus sont magnifiques et impressionnent au départ par la richesse et le détail qu'on y trouve. De plus en plus mystérieux au fur et à mesure que l'on avance dans la narration, jusqu'à toucher du bout du doigt le paranormal. Mais encore une fois, sans trop en faire et sans que cela viennent justifier la storyline.
Les énigmes sont toujours bien amenées, quelques unes donnent d'ailleurs du fil à retordre !

Enfin, on pourrait juste regretter qu'au bout de quelques heures l'histoire prenne fin... Ce qui est plutôt positif puisque je n'ai à aucun moment eu le temps de m'en lasser.

Call of the Sea

I thoroughly enjoyed this game. 10/10.



Call of the Sea is a beautiful walking tour/puzzle game in the vein of Fire Watch, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter, The Park, and, to a lesser extent, Myst. Call of the Sea has a wonderfully affecting and personal story to tell that is fabulously paced. The 1930s aesthetic, palpable at every turn, maintains the immersion of the story giving the whole game a fabulously pulpy feel. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu mythos has a presence in this game, contributing to the foundations the game is built on, but not overshadowing it like in The Sinking City and Call of Cthulhu video games.



The gameplay was fun. While your character’s speed leaves a little to be desired, she is admittedly an adventuress of the '30s, in heeled boots and a full length skirt on a wild tropical island. The puzzles grow more challenging as the game progresses without becoming obtuse or opaque. Similarly, the biomes of the island are fabulous and only add to the storytelling while keeping the feel consistent but not same-y.



All in all, this is a great game with enough detail to make it worth playing again to see all the little bits of foreshadowing that were sprinkled along the way and putting together the early puzzle pieces for a more complete story.



------Spoilers ahead!!!!!!!!------



Once I knew the twist, it threw a fascinating light on the aesthetic of the game for me. In most games set in the Cthulhu mythos, you play a protagonist traveling to an isolated, dangerous, alien, and often savage place to seek a cure for your sick loved one or yourself, only to find ancient ruins and eldritch horror. But here you play that sick loved one looking for the person that went searching for your cure. In those other storylines, the sick character is slowly changing into a monster that will inevitably be called to the sea to join others of their bloodline that have “returned home” before them. Without a cure, this person has no hope other than insanity and a slow, wasting death, or the aforementioned transformation.



But here in Call of the Sea, you are that sick, slowly transforming person. After traveling across the world, you too end up at the same isolated place to find ancient ruins, but instead of a savage danger and alien horror, you find tranquility, beauty, and mystery. The only horror you find is in the evidence left by the people you are looking for, in what they did to the land and what they did to each other. This is most evident and wonderfully portrayed in the difference between the island exploration levels that are tranquil, bright, and full of life, and the civilized camp level that is dark, trash-strewn, and desolate. This level was the only part of the game in which I felt like something might truly attack me. This level was the one that was alien and dangerous. This level, full of the trappings of civilization, was the place of savage danger.



I loved this: a mythos story from the perspective of someone becoming Other and finding the home of their ancestors--being called to it, and welcomed by it. I was really taken with the idea that it is beautiful and welcoming because the character belongs there, and that she sees it that way because she is wanted there. It makes me wonder--what was it like for those she searches for? She sees a tranquil beach leading to a coolly-shadowed jungle, with rays of sunlight dancing through the trees. They see a beach that is the last refuge before an ominous jungle with the ephemeral shafts of light from above providing the only safety. (Heck, their first camp on the beach is so far from the jungle that it is almost in the water.) She sees a peaceful glade by a river filled with indigenous buildings and art. They see the only safe haven in a jungle filled with the remains of a cryptically vanished people and threatening totems to the unknown.

She sees the awesome ruins left by ancient people--monuments to their perseverance and craftsmanship, covered in murals, a testament to their culture. They see alien design and purpose in a place no indigenous person could have built.



I found it fascinating that the environment could look so different to each group because she belonged and they didn’t. How that would affect the way they interacted with and perceived its purpose was a welcome layer to the game. It also made me think more about how other mythos stories might look from the other side.

This game... I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't recommend it enough. If you're a fan of the Lovecraftian genre, but aren't really into horror games, or just want a nice, relaxing game to play, this is your ticket. Call of the Sea is a puzzle game, with a unique and casual spin on Lovecraftian storytelling.

The game itself is beautiful, and the music and voice acting are fantastic. By the end of the game I was feeling things I wasn't expecting to feel... characters I had grown attached to in a very short span of time, and I was a little sad to find that I had already reached the end of Norah's amazing journey. The story is short, but it is one that leaves a lasting impression.

I am not big fan of games that are like "adventures in general and especially ones that could pass like walking simulator" But this game is phenomenal..... atmosphere is great, graphics are wonderfully done and often vary from one style to another but in general stay in same style of strong colours.
And voice acting is great.
I am not sure how much to reveal but your character is Norah in your quest to find husband who has disapearad trying to find cure four your illens and also reveal mystery of a dreams that haunt you. Also game happens in 1930s in wonderful atmosphere.
Do not miss this gem game is fully worth it double the price (I hope I do not give publishers some bad ideas)

This is a beautiful game, with a captivating story of love and mystery only to be expanded by the gorgeous landscapes and soundtracks, I often found my self slowing down to look around and even take a few screenshots (one of which is now my wall paper). The game offers ~5 hours of true game play and puzzles with additional time gathered from looking for achievements for those looking too 100% the game. The puzzles are entertaining and not overly challenging or tedious, increasing in difficulty as the game progresses though never to a point where they are difficult by any means and rewards players that explore the areas. if you enjoy puzzle games and have played many Id rate this 5/10 on puzzle difficulty based on other games I've played . The puzzles present them selves in a Linear manor as in after each main puzzle is solved the next one becomes obvious (i.e open the next door) and than its up to you to scour the area for clues to solve it. I had good expectations going into this game and came out overly satisfied by the time spent in it.

Overall gameplay 8.5/10
Puzzle Difficulty 5/10
Landscapes 10/10
Soundtrack 10/10

I'd say this game is for those who are looking for a fairly easy puzzle game that makes you think but not struggle, but would like to enjoy an immersive story and scenery.

러브크래프트 뽕에 질러버리고 '아 인스머스의 그림자 짭 아닐까'하는 생각으로 시작했는데,
그딴거 없고 그냥 잘 만들었다. 퍼즐로는 아쉽지만, 스토리와 워킹 시뮬레어터로는 훌륭함.

심해공포증이 굉장히 심한편인데, 이건 딱히 그렇게 불쾌하지 않았음

Типичная романтическая линия и сюжет,который всем знаком, но все здесь настолько гармонирует,что прям как надо. В игре кучи замечательных видов,которых могут послужить некоторым вдохновением, небольшой такой симулятор ходьбы и в принципе хорошие головоломки(но есть пара не логичных). Эдакий среднечок, но игра мимо которой не пройти. Есть две концовки и нельзя сказть,что какая-то хорошая,а другая нет. Все в этой игре хорошо.

Call of the Sea is a nice little adventure, with really great visuals, music, environments, and a neat story. The puzzles are pretty good as well, with them ranging from being simple obstacles to real head-scratchers. Sometimes the directions can be a bit unclear, which caused confusion on my part and had me having to think for long periods of time before progressing (though you can always use a walkthrough like I did for one puzzle).

But really, I'd like to reiterate how beautiful the environments were, with each area offering some new vistas and locations that you can explore. With the cute artstyle and instrumental music, it often feels like a Disneyland adventure ride.

Really sweet game. They way the story is told reminds me of Firewatch, the riddles remind me of Myst and the Scenere feels like Subnautica. And the Story itself is Lovecraftian.

So if you like these things, definite recommendation.

Hmm, this game was interesting. I really enjoyed the art style, the concept, unlike some of the other reviews, I also enjoyed the monologue (even though sometimes it was a biiiiiiit excessive). I'm a big Lovecraft fan, and this game definitely ticks off all the boxes. If you enjoy Dagon (By Lovecraft) this is a definite game to pick up. I'm not fussed about the price, it could be a bit cheaper, but there's a lot of love and passion that's gone in to this game.

I like puzzle games, but I've not played a whole lot of them, so I don't know whether it's my smooth brain, or not...But the puzzles in this game are waaayyy too difficult. Usually during a puzzle game, there's not one time where I need to look up a guide, but I'd say I had to look up guides for about 70% of the puzzles in this game as for the puzzles often required you to find some hint written on the wall, or a very small visual cue to explain how to do it, so I'd usually see myself spending an hour trying to do a puzzle, then I'd search up the solution, only to see that I couldn't figure it out because I walked past an easily missable hint.

Without spoiling the ending, I wasn't too bothered by it, but I think they could've nailed a better landing...But that said, I still liked the outcome. I would definitely recommend this game to people who are interested in H.P Lovecraft's work, and if you are into puzzle games and want a tough challenge, I recommend playing this without the use of guides lol.

Either way, I enjoyed the game quite a lot and want to thank the devs for making my lockdown experience a little more enjoyable :)

Adorei este jogo! Joguei em inglês portanto não posso comentar na dobragem portuguesa. O cenário é muito bonito, os puzzles são desafiadores mas não tão difíceis ao ponto de quebrar o ritmo da história. A narrativa é fantástica, em certos pontos previsível, mas com algumas surpresas no meio. Recomendo a quem procure jogar algo mais calmo, guiado pela narrativa, e bastante imersivo!

It is a pretty casual game. The main attractions for me were how relaxing the exploration and puzzles were in a good realm. The story itself is nothing spectacular. And I'll always give extra points to a game with good voice-over.

Oh I absolutley loved this.

The story was great, taking on topics about love and self discovery. It felt like I got to follow along as Norah, a grown woman, found herself again and grew a bit more. An adult coming-of-age story almost? The two storylines that take place, Norah's and Harry's, are beautifully intertwined and the collection of clues and tidbits of information as you search for the truth got me shrieking with joy. This was really a game I didn't know that I needed this badly.

Anyway the game was fantastic, the scenery breathtaking and the puzzles tricky enough to feel rewarding, while not too difficult that you lose your flow while playing. I also really enjoyed the fishy Lovecraftian/eldritch horror aspect of the game that played in the background.

This game is definitely worth your time and money, at least in my opinion. The story, puzzles, and lovely aesthetic really made me drown in this amazing experience, so I wholeheartedly recommend picking this up and joining Norah in her adventure.

An absolute recommendation for any Lovecraft-enthusiast. Although it isn't really a horror game, it often manages to create the typical Lovecraftian feeling of uneasiness.
The riddles are more entertaining than difficult, which gives the game the lighthearted feeling of an old school adventure mixed with beautiful graphics and varied settings. Highly recommended!

Chouette puzzle game, parfois un peu frustrant dans sa façon de présenter certaines énigmes, mais qui n'en demeure pas moins plaisant. On retrouve des phases de "flottements" et de respiration qui pourrait faire penser à du Abzu ou du Journey. L'histoire qui nous est racontée l'est d'une très belle façon, accompagnée par une bande son digne de ce nom. La réalisation sert très bien la direction artistique, qui est sublime et enchaîne des plans magnifiques et mémorables.

L'énigme des cadrans était un peu mal abordée et celle du barrage un peu trompeuse, mais l'ensemble est bien équilibré.

Great imagery and story, good pacing and captivating. Some of the puzzles could be a little obtuse and take a little time to figure out but all puzzles are varied and aren't repetitive. Overall a great game and would recommend to anyone who is interested in the story puzzle genre.

An enjoyable title! I played through it in one go. There's a lot to enjoy here, though I did find one subplot largely unbelievable.

Pros:
+ Beautiful scenery enhanced by great sound design and voice acting. Cissy Jones gives an outstanding performance as Norah
+ Creative puzzles that aren't too difficult
+ Engaging, high-quality writing. Norah and Harry's relationship is three dimensional and endearing. Every character is complex and intriguing
+ Enjoyable original song

Neutral:
* The two different endings are chosen at the end, meaning replays are more to re-experience the story than to redefine your playthrough

♥♥♥♥:
- Subtitles not 100% accurate to the voice acting
- Lighting adjustments when walking in and out of shade can be distracting

A note on the subplot:
Norah is aghast when she "discovers" segregation. Given that it's the 1930s, I sincerely doubt racism would surprise her. It's great that the writers included the topic of segregation at all and that Norah and her partner hate it, but it feels like Norah's implied ignorance is supposed to "purify" her in the face of an uncomfortable fact of the past that would have been ubiquitous and unavoidable at the time.

Call of the Sea tells what at first seems like a standard Lovecraftian tale, but spices it up with additions to the lore, some twists and even choices.
The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is superb (not surprising considering the cast), and there are enough puzzles in the game that classifying it as just a walking simulator will be doing it injustice.
My closing line, before I started writing this short review, was supposed to describe the game as "one of the best walking simulators I've played" but now I feel it deserves something a little different:
This is one of the best adventure games I've played, and I highly recommend it.

Not bad at all it's kinda like if Pixar made a lovecraft inspired adventure game haha, it's very colourful and is both sad and wholesome at the same time. It's very puzzle heavy which can get tedious, one puzzle in particular was quite frustrating and even after looking up the solution I still didn't understand it. Mostly though exploring the different little areas and uncovering the mystery is an enjoyable experience. The main character does tend to talk little too much which killed the atmosphere sometimes and my mouse settings kept resetting which was annoying. Content wise it's decent 6 chapters which are fairly small but pretty detailed and well designed, runtime longer than anticipated but I'm slow at puzzles. The audio balance was a bit off and one area had some fps issues but overall it's a chill game with nice visuals and strong narrative. The song at the end is cute. Recommend to puzzle/adventure/lovecraftian fans. 7.7/10

Pacing was good. Replay seems low. I wished it had went in depth with some of the islands mysteries. But the story stands well enough alone with what is shown. You can find seams and frayed ends of game logic if you look for them, but none lay on the path. Would gladly purchase any follow-ups, Excellent job.

Call of the Sea est un bon jeu d'énigmes dépaysant et immersif qui se finit en environ 6 heures si vous êtes chauds ! Le jeu est à la première personne et est assez épuré dans son interface. Le style visuel est similaire à Firewatch ou The Witness avec des textures stylisée un peu cartoon (avec quelques petits problème de luminosité et de changement de colorimétrie). L'univers du jeu est plus sérieux que le visuel laisse le deviner.

L'histoire et le scénario sont dans la moyenne haute même si la durée du jeu l'empêche de vraiment s'épanouir (le jeu ne fait que 6 chapitres). Les énigmes sont bien variées bien qu'un peu simples pour la plus part.

Ce jeu vous plaira si :
  • Vous aimez résoudre des énigmes
  • Vous avez apprécié The Witness ou Firewatch
  • Vous aimez les jeux plutôt contemplatifs
  • Vous aimez les univers fantastiques de type lovecraftien

Passez votre chemin si :
  • Vous préférez les jeux avec un rythme rapide
  • Vous aimez les jeux aux graphismes réalistes

Note : je n'ai testé que la version anglaise sous-titrée en anglais.

Öncelikle eleştiriye başlamadan önce birkaç bir şeyden bahsetmek istiyorum. Ben bu oyunu Türkçe yama yaparak oynadım bence yapmayınız çünkü google çeviriden yararlanılmış ve birazcık bozuk cümleler. Oyunda başarım kasacak arkadaşlar içinse oyun bittiğinde jeneriki geçmeyin oyunun sonunda da animasyon var ve onu izledikten sonra başarım veriyor. Ben hiç bir teknik açıdan bug veya sorun yaşamadım.

SPOİLER UYARISI

Oyunun grafikleri güzel ve tatlı ilk bölümlerde keşif duygusu yayıyor ancak bir saat sonra o keşif duygusu yitiyor. O keşif duygusu gidince ne kadar güzel grafikler olursa olsun zevk vermiyor. Oyun hamallık simülasyonuna dönüşüyor. Arkadaşlarım bu oyun ne yürüme ne de bulmaca oyunu bu oyun hamallık simülasyonudur.
İlk bölümde kapıyı ve köprüyü açtığımız bulmacalar dışında oyunda bulmaca diyebileceğiniz bir şey yok. Oyunun beş saat olmasının nedeni yürüdüğümüz için o kadar yavaş yürüyoruz ki elimi bir defa çekmedim shiftten. Serçe parmağım uyuştu oynarken. Bulmacaları bir oyana bir buyana atmaya ne gerek vardı güzel kardeşlerim attınız niye yavaş yürütüyorsunuz ki oyunun keşif duygusuna sıçtınız. Gezmek değil biran önce oraya varmaya çalışıyoruz.
Şu oyuna az biraz zıplama getirseniz kötümü olurdu dostlarım bundan şikayetçi değilim ama uzun zamandır zıplama oyun oynamadığım için zor alıştım oyuna.
Oyunda hoşuma gitmeyen şeylerden biride bulmaca çeşitliliğin azalması her ilerlediğimiz bölümde farklı bulmacalar görmek yerine aynı bulmaca üzerinde hamallık yaptırıyor. Beşinci bölüm olması gerek orada olan renklere göre bastığımız taş sütunlar hamallık. Aşağıya in yukarıya çık o kadar yolu yürütmek yerine o dört tuşa bulmaca koysaydılar daha iyi olurdu. Aynı şekilde elimizi ördeğe ısırttığımız bölüm ortadaki mantıklı ama açılan kapılarda yürümek hamallık keşif duygusunu yok ediyor.
İlerleyen aşamalarda bulmacalar seni sadece yürümek anlamında yormuyor. Beynini de yoruyor bir yerden sonra hiç bir bulmacada mantık bulamıyorsun ya da gerçekten mantık yok. Benim için ise hiç bir insan o bulmacalar herhangi bir mantık üzerine kurulmuş olduğuna inandıramaz.
Özellikle ebedi, ilahi, sıvı olan bölüm Allah kahretsin ne yaptığımı bilmiyorum. Duvarda kırkbeş bin tane şekil var onlara göre yapmaya çalışıyorum ama yok. Meğersem orayla alakası yokmuş internette yaptığım bir kaç araştırma yaptıktan sonra gene bir şey bulmadım. Çözümü var mantığı yok. Bu olayı üçüncü bölümde de yaşadım gemi enkazında hiç bir mantık ve suret bir, iki ve yedinin açık diğerleri neden kapalı hiç etrafta bunun için bir bilgi yok gene internetten bakmaz zorunda kaldım. Gene mantığını bulamadım.
O bölümün birde piyanosu var ki easter egg olduğunu 1 saat sonra çözdükten sonra anladım. Başarım kazanmak kasacak değilseniz yapmayın uğraşmayın. Yazık kafanıza o bulmacayı çözen peygamberdir.
Oyunun hikayesi güzel ama anlatış kötü medyum muyuz yoksa müneccim mi belli değil her fotoğraftan o olabilir bu olabilir yoğ amına. Bu kadar şeyi biliyorsun kocanı da tekte bulsaydın yavşak birde ara sıra deniz kızına dönüşüyor aptal aptal insanken de aynı hızda yüzüyorsun balıkken de ne anladım bu işten üstüne gelmiş anan baban bunu sana hiç mi anlatmadı. Elbet ailenden biri deniz kızı veya her ne boksa olması gerek değil mi anan babana yazık. Ey geri zekalı herif karının balık olduğunu biliyorsun karını bırakmak istemiyorsun yerleş adaya kız kötü olunca girsin denize sonra dönsün yanına çok mu zor bu işi yürütmek.

Oyun yapımcıları yazık kafanıza. Böyle bir oyun yapıyordunuz bir bulmaca uzmanından yardım alsaydınız. Editörün götüne göre bulmaca çözüyoruz. Bu oyun bence yüz üzerinden seksen alabilecek bir oyun değil.

Very pure and fresh game. It does get a bit slow in the middle towards the end but it's fine. One of the best things was the music. I would recommend, it has kind of easy puzzles but challenging. You don't get lost in the map, the exploration is pretty straight forward.

Fine game, worth the price. Took me seven hours to complete the game, though I used a walkthrough for three points where I didn't understand what I was doing wrong.

Pros: inventive elements, only one bug (I got trapped on scenery, and just reloaded the previous autosave), convincing use of game engine for walking and fiddling with things, colourful, the journal mechanism means you don't have to make your own notes and drawings as you play, frequent autosave points
♥♥♥♥: too creepy for children to play, too difficult to figure out in a few places, people scared of swimming won't like it

My personal preferences: I'm not a great fan of the magic/Lovecraft element since it makes impossible things too easy. So I consider it weak storytelling. The developers obviously have at least one skilled storyteller on staff, and I think they could have done better making up their own evil. Apart from that, I liked it.

Если вкратце - приятная, лёгкая игра, способная увлечь на пару вечеров уж точно.

Игра представляет из себя незамысловатую бродилку-головоломку. Головоломки увлекательные и, в большинстве своём, не сильно сложные (однако над некоторыми пришлось посидеть подольше). В любом случае, рядом, как правило, находится достаточно предметов-подсказок. Локации достаточно приятные, хоть ближе к концу и ощущаются слишком большими и пустоватыми. Умереть в игре нельзя, прыгать тоже не разрешается, NPC отсутствуют.
История прям пропитана различными отсылками к рассказам Говарда Лавкрафта (если вообще не основана на одном из рассказов, не так хорошо ознакомлен с его библиографией). По всему миру также раскиданы письма, записки и фотографии, описывающие события, происходившие с экспедицией. Помимо этого, героиня также делает свои пометки в журнале.

На мой взгляд - замечательная головоломка (чем-то напомнила даже The Witness) даже с некоторым пространством для повторного прохождения (если вы хотите собрать все ачивки).

환상적인 섬에서 남편을 찾아 탐험하는 게임입니다.
플레이방식은 퍼즐이며, 초반 퍼즐 몇몇은 좀 어려울 수 있고, 후반부에도 어려운 부분이 하나 있지만, 나머지는 보통정도입니다.
스토리도 매끄럽고 호기심을 자극합니다.
생각보다 몰입해가면서 플레이했네요.

This game truly felt like an adventure to me! With stellar puzzles that made me itch my brain just enough, an amazing environment and an absolutely compelling story, I can't recommend this enough. It was so relaxing to play through this game and even though my first playthrough was only around 4 hours, i will most assuredly be going through it again to find the secrets! Easily one of my most enjoyable experiences playing a game :)

It puts a unique spin on Lovecraft which is NOT easy these days. The gameplay is fine, but it's mostly a framework for the plot. Definitely a bit of a walking simulator, but we go interesting places with an interesting story.

I really enjoyed this game. I finished the game itself in about 5 hours, but missed a few achievements so it took me an additional 3 hours to complete it.

The game is beautiful, but I feel like there is a third possible ending that would have worked as well if the developers wanted to include it.

Karakterimiz Norah Everhart, aile bireylerinden bir kaçının da ölümüne sebep olmuş, tedavisi olmayan bir hastalığa yakalanmıştır. Norah'nın eşi Harry ise bu hastalığa bir tedavi bulabilme umuduyla bir keşif yolculuğuna çıkmış ancak kendisinden tekrar haber alınamamıştır. Bir süre sonra Norah, içinde bir hançerin ve adresin bulunduğu paketi teslim almış ve anlaştığı denizcilerle birlikte belirtilen adrese doğru, Harry'i bulma umuduyla yola çıkmıştır. Oyunumuz da bu yolculuğun bitimi ile başlamaktadır.

Grafiksel olarak hoş çizgileri olan oyunun 'Crash Bandicoot' oyunlarının grafiklerini oldukça anımsattığını belirtmeliyim. Bulunduğumuz mekanların atmosferini gayet iyi bir şekilde yansıtıyor. Ancak dış dünyadaki nesnelerle (okuduğumuz notların dışında) hiç bir şekilde etkileşime geçememek üzücü bir etken olmuş. Bu kısım öylesine yüzeysel olarak tasarlanmış ki, yürürken üzerinden geçtiğiniz bazı tümsekleri bile hissedemeyeceğinizi bilmelisiniz.

Oynanış kısmı ise tamamen yürümek, yüzmek, notları/günlüğü okumak ve bulmaca çözmek üzerine kurulu. Karakterimiz, yaptığımız ve gördüğümüz her şeyi not alıyor ve bunu yaparken de kendi düşüncelerini de işin içine katıyor. Hal böyle olunca aktif bir şekilde günlük kullanmak gerekiyor. Oyunun asıl zorluğu ise bulmacalardan kaynaklı olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. Bulmacaların büyük çoğunluğu tam olarak beyin yakıyor; ciddi anlamda çok zor. Oyunun ilk yarısından sonra bulmacalardaki bu zorluğun biraz daha hafiflediğini belirtmekte de fayda var.

Toplamda 4-6 saat arasında bir oynanış süresine sahip olan oyunun ne yazık ki Türkçe dil desteği bulunmuyor. Ancak internet üzerindeki Türkçe çeviri programlarıyla, kusursuz bir şekilde oynayabilirsiniz.

Oyunun iki farklı sonu bulunuyor ancak bunları görmek için tekrar oynamanıza gerek kalmıyor; iki seçimi de son kısımda yapıyorsunuz. Hal böyle olunca tekrar oynanabilirliği düşük olduğu için, fiyatı biraz yüksek oluyor. Yine de hikaye odaklı oyunları sevenler için pişman olmayacakları bir yapım.

Overall, decent, though quite short and easy. I don't think I've ever played an easier puzzle game.

They might as well have put the game on literal rails, as there is no variation from "do puzzle, move forward, repeat."

The story was both Lovecraftian and a departure from Lovecraft, which I appreciated. Not standard doom and gloom.

I was looking for a story telling/puzzle game and I came across this. The story is so intriguing and the visual is amazing.I enjoyed every hours. Now i'm just sad that it is over.

Congrats to the Dev Team, you did an incredible job. I was hooked right at the beginning.

I enjoyed the game's story, and the puzzles. The story has you following in the footsteps of your missing husband; your husband led an expedition to an uncharted island, hoping to find a cure for your mysterious affliction, and has gone missing. As you play you'll work to uncover the answer to three questions: what befell your husband's expedition, what is the cause of your illness, and what is the true nature of the island? These threads come together in a satisfying way, and I was interested in the story throughout my whole playthrough.

I thought the puzzles in the game were well crafted, and varied. They're difficult enough to make you feel clever once the answer "clicks", but not so difficult that they feel obtuse. I was able to complete all puzzles without a guide, although some did take a few tries before I found the right solution -- I thought the difficulty was balanced, feeling rewarding but not frustrating. The variety of puzzles was also welcome: you'll encounter puzzles that deal with sound, the actual physical orientation of the game space, and logic puzzles.

The story and gameplay are both tied together by some fantastic art and setpieces. I loved the look of the island, and the locales you'll visit in the story are varied and stunning. The game is on the shorter side (I finished the game in just under 4.5 hours), but I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing. I had fun with the time the game took, and thought the experience was well worth the price of admission.

This game was a great experience, with some small portions that were a bit rough around the edges. The cinematic view in this game are just incredible, every environment just blew me away. The storyline also was right up my alley, and I was invested in seeing what happened.

However, some of the puzzles did not feel nearly as intuitive, and it would take sometimes nothing short of trial and error to figure them out. While I didn't mind this too much, it did sometimes create mild frustration when I just really wanted to see what happened next.

Really really good job by the dev team to make a super atmospheric, enjoyable puzzle game.

Like, such a beautiful game. I thoroughly enjoyed poking around into every corner, finding every little secret in the game. Great graphic design, excellent atmospheric storytelling, good voice acting, and great secret items.

Even though it isn't the longest game (took me around 7 hours to play through normally, and just a couple hours to 100% it afterwards), I would thoroughly recommend this game if atmospheric puzzle walkers are your thing.

A thing to note: On release day, there were some minor interact bugs that wouldn't let you interact with things, but any bug I encountered was solvable by saving and quitting to menu, and loading back in. Took about 10 seconds total. I noticed at least one patch released after I played, so that may have fixed it.

Отличный квест с логичными и местами нетривиальными загадками, где надо разбираться во всяких машинках и древних механизмах, смотреть записки (причём смотреть их действительно интересно, ты не открываешь их с мыслью "о нет, стена текста, с которой придётся справляться"), чертежи и разгадывать тайну, которая сохраняет интригу достаточно долгое время. Ну и, само собой, графическое и звуковое оформление, которые резко контрастируют с другими играми по Лавкрафту, грязно-зелёными, мрачными и сырыми, здесь создают неимоверную атмосферу. И вообще это игра хорошо раскрывает лавкрафтовские идеи древних цивилизаций, а не просто показывает какие-то склизкие мерзости. Очень понравилось, очень рекомендую любителям Myst-лайк квестов.

It's very apparent that a lot of time was spent on making a beautiful game. The plants and environment were genuinely beautiful.
Unfortunately, the story and puzzles felt like they lacked forethought. Pair that with slow movement speed, long ladder climbs, an inability to jump, and "invisible walls" blocking access to spaces (that's what rocks and foliage are for. Stop me before I run into an invisible wall...) and I couldn't get into it. I am a huge fan of games in this genre, but this one really missed the mark. I kept playing in the hopes it would get better as I learned more about the story. I think I'll leave this one on the shelf.

Un juego muy recomendable para jugar solo o en pareja.

Call of the Sea es un juego estupendo.

Graficamente es precioso de ver, perderse por los diferentes rincones de la isla es un placer que os invitará a mirar en todas direcciones y a sentiros como un explorador en mitad de una isla paradisíaca.

El juego consiste en ir resolviendo los diferentes acertijos que nos iremos encontrando en nuestro camino para descubrir el misterio tras la desaparición de nuestro marido Harry. Para ello, deberemos encontrar las pistas repartidas por el escenario hasta hilar la solución. La dificultad de estos puzles va aumentando a medida que avanzamos en el juego, pero nunca es excesiva.

La historia se nos cuenta a través de cartas y fotografías repartidas por los distintos niveles, así como por los detalles de los propios entornos. Es una historia sencilla pero que te mantiene en vilo hasta su resolución. La duración del juego está muy bien medida, sin ser excesivamente largo y sin aburrirnos en ningún caso hasta su conclusión.

En mi caso, el juego lo terminé en 9 horas, que dependerá de lo rápido que se resuelvan las pruebas y de las ganas de explorar que tengamos. También es posible rejugarlo para obtener los trofeos que se nos hayan podido quedar en el tintero, pero el juego no aporta nada nuevo en la segunda vuelta, excepto completar ligeramente los fragmentos del lore que nos hayamos podido dejar.

En conclusión, es un juego fantástico, sencillito, ♥♥♥ mecánicas heredadas de las aventuras gráficas antiguas pero mucho más simplificadas (es raro quedarse atascado más de 20 minutos), un apartado gráfico precioso que te atrapa y una historia que te mantiene enganchado a la pantalla hasta completarlo.

Less of a walking sim than a modernized version of 90's point-and-click adventure games. It is colourful, well-written, heartfelt, has solid puzzles, and is absolutely worth your time.

You play as Norah, looking for her missing husband on a remote south Pacific island after receiving a letter from him. It's first-person navigation that will have you traversing the island looking for story/puzzle clues and solving said puzzles. It keeps a good pace, never having you go too far without giving you something to do. Fans of H.P. Lovecraft will be in familiar territory, despite not being a horror game. It takes place in Lovecraft's universe, and explores some themes common to his work; fans will notice lots of nods and references to his writings. However, the story is original, and no familiarity with Lovecraft's work is needed to enjoy and understand it.
I've seen this game described as a "walking sim", and I don't think that quite fits. I think what separates it from that genre is:

- It is primarily a puzzle game; and
- Most of Norah's narrations are optional, based on objects you examine.

The end result is it feels like a 2020 version of Myst, just with more dialogue outside of cutscenes and with free-form movement, though it is restrictive in where you can go. While the environments may consist of several interlocking paths, you won't be able to stray far from said paths. There are hidden objects to find and achievements to unlock, in addition to lots of discarded bits of paper or stone carvings off to the side that add to the game world. When examined, Norah will not just say "there is a stone carving here" - she will connect it to something else she has seen, or talk about how she feels about it. It all feels meaningful and relevant (aside from one or two obvious jokes), and adds an extra layer to the gameplay and to the world.
Fortunately, given that the game places its emphasis on puzzles, they are challenging and satisfying. Norah keeps a notebook to record story beats and puzzle clues, which you will need to reference to solve the case at hand. Sometimes the solution is outside the box, and sometimes it's obvious - it keeps you on your toes without being too easy nor frustrating. I would say they're more complicated than a typical puzzle game, but they aren't mind-melting either.
The visuals always keep things colourful and interesting, and run the gambit from serene, to ethereal, to surreal. The sound design is largely subdued as well - the game is largely quiet with ambient environmental sounds, with a few standout musical moments, sometimes used to solve puzzles. The voice acting is convincing, especially with Norah - hearing her comments and internal monologue feels natural and adds to the game world, rather than feeling like it's trying to club you over the head with narrative themes or drama.
While the game runs smoothly, I did experience some technical issues, none of which were game breaking. On two occasions, the game froze while I was on a ladder; the autosave resolved that quickly. More puzzling was when an achievement triggered and the screen cut to earlier in the game for a moment (I thought it was meant to be a flashback); curious what it was, I tabbed out to see, only for the achievement not be on my list. I looked it up, only to see that it was an achievement I couldn't have triggered in that moment.

Overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a good story and/or challenging puzzles. The beautiful location adds to both of those things. I thought this game was fantastic; considering it's the first game done by Out of the Blue, it's an excellent start, and I will be watching for their next title.

В общем, игра интересная, а под конец даже интригующая. И в плане геймплея тут тоже скорее плюс. Но есть нюансы.

Геймплей.
Я играл с Дуалсенса и в плане именно управления было всё хорошо.
Но то, что нужно делать по ходу игры(по крайней мере в первых трёх главах) было немного утомляющим.
Например, в первых главах были немалые локации, по которым приходилось ходить много раз туда-сюда при не самой большой скорости главной героини. Особенно, на ночной локации с кораблём.
Если говорить про изучаемые предметы, то всё было бы хорошо, если бы не тот факт, что иногда чтобы изучить какой-то предмет, нужно было бы идти на другую часть локации, там что-то сделать, догадаться, что героине нужно обязательно зарисовать себе в заметки тот предмет в начале локации для продолжения задания, вернуться туда, а потом ещё раз пройти обратно через всю локацию для выполнения задания или решения головоломки(что чаще всего или даже всегда - одно и то же)
Насчёт головоломок - тут неоднозначно. Возможно, проблема в том, что я в подобные игры мало играл. Но для меня многие головоломки были очень неочевидные. Приходилось иногда читерить и смотреть в интернете. Благо, то ли потому что я привык к подобным головоломкам, то ли потому что они просто стали легче, я после 3-4 главы делал уже всё сам.

Сюжет - просто хороший.
Проблема, разве что в том, что когда ты делаешь выбор в конце, ты вибираешь между тем, как поступила бы героиня, но вся игра стала бы бессмысленна, или тем, как героиня бы НЕ поступила, но смысл во всём произошедшем бы появился.
Я выбрал первый вариант и понял, что всё: от момента когда её муж отправился в экспедицию до самого конца после титров - было бессмысленно. Просто, потраченые ресурсы и даже больше.

В плане технической части всё в порядке было. На моём-то слабеньком компе))
Хотя, должен заметить, иногда локации немного не проработаны и ты можешь просто упираться в пустоту(для меня это плохо везде, кроме тех мест, где если бы ты не упирался в пустоту, ты бы умер(от падения, например))

Графика и дизайн - замечательно, если учитывать, что это такая стилистика(немного мультяшная). Атмосфера хорошая.

Актеры озвучки тоже меня устроили. Главную героиню как в отзывах здесь уже писали, озвуичла актриса, озвучившая Делайлу в Firewatch. Ну и да, временами это можно заметить.

Раз заговорил, про Firewatch, то, не углубляясь в их сравнение, просто скажу, что он всё же лучше был. Ему бы я поставил 9.5 из 10

А этой игре - 8 из 10.

Just get this game, keep a few hours, sit down and enjoy this wonderful ride. I can’t wait to get whatever game comes next from this studio!

Specifics:
  • Great and interesting storytelling through interactables (picking up objects, rotating them)
  • Gorgeous environments
  • Gorgeous music, game me chills at bits
  • Puzzles were fantastic, just the right difficulty, even one I had to figure it out by writing it down which is fun!
  • Voice acting is top notch
I want more games like this!

hratelností super hra , která má skvělé vizuály a soundtrack ,... avšak jediný problém této hry , vzhledem k ceně 20 eur , je dobrý příběh , který by si , alespoň za mě , zasloužil více času. 4 a 1/2 hodiny hracího času jsou za mě málo , pokud pojedete completionist , tak si myslím , že přidáte hře další hodinu , max 2 navíc.

*hodnoceno na základě mého konce a na tom , že jsem osobně nejel completionist , a tak nevím zda to hře něco přidává (alternativní konec apod.)*

even the puzzles are real great. they are difficult enough to have you solve them and make you feel real smart, but not too hard to make you feel frustration.
if you wanna see a nice little twist on classic lovecraftian story-tropes: get this. worth your time!

Great game. Well written, with great art, music, and voice. Only took a few hours to finish, and only a few more to 100%. The story flows quite neatly, with an ending that make logical sense no matter which ending you choose. The narration the character makes is excellent, without being superfluous, and nearly perfectly matched what was going through my own head. Excellent system of taking notes of the puzzles in ways that act as 'hints,' but do not spoon-feed you the answers.

Most of the puzzles were fairly basic, but they don't repeat unnecessarily. Most of the puzzle types are only seen once

No real replay value, except to get 100%. Thankfully when you replay a chapter, the notes and log are filled with everything you had already gotten. It was nice to be able to focus on getting only what was missing, without having to go through the entire story.

I did find a few spots where the game would freeze upon picking up a piece of paper or photograph, mostly while inside the house. Strangely, taking a screenshot usually fixed the issue.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good simple puzzle game with a well written story.

Jeu narratif sympathique, excellent dans la forme, même si assez peu ambitieux dans le fond.
Le gameplay se limite aux déplacements et interactions avec les indices et puzzles. L'intrigue ainsi que les solutions aux énigmes sont délivrées au travers de notes et lettres, de manière un peu simpliste à mon goût.
Le jeu brille surtout par sa réalisation de très haute volée, les environnements sont magnifiques, la musique superbe, le doublage de qualité, la direction artistique inspirée, l'ambiance réussie. Plusieurs séquences sont vraiment époustouflantes. On se laisse donc facilement emporter, et au final c'est ce qu'on demande à un jeu narratif :)

Une bien belle aventure !

On a là un genre de Obduction plus narratif et moins poussé dans les énigmes (ce qui n'est pas pour me déplaire).
Le système de notes automatiques pourra déranger les amoureux des jeux à la Myst (on sait tout de suite ce qui est un indice ou non) mais rend le jeux plus agréable pour ceux qui n'ont pas l'habitude (ça permet d’éviter de rester bloqué trop longtemps sur les énigmes), pour ma part j'aurai préféré un entre-deux.
L'ambiance est vraiment au top, du Lovecraft dans les années 30, et le jeu est vraiment beau.

Ce n'est peut être pas une claque mais le jeu reste fort agréable.
Bref si vous cherchez un jeu sympathique et pas trop long (moins de 5h dans mon cas), et bien c'est le jeu qu'il vous faut :)

The voice act is perfect and the graphic design goes with it.
The story will not blow your mind but it works well.
The only catch is that this is a walking simulator disguised as a puzzle game.
Don't get me wrong, I still think this is a great game, but as a puzzle game it's just OK. I was just expecting more challenging puzzles but I get that that was not the purpose of this game.
I will keep waiting for a worthy Myst-like, but in the meantime this is a good apperitive.
Also made in spain, which is good.

I enjoyed this game very much - somehow (for me at least) everything about it feels just right; the setting and art direction (gorgeous, esp. on epic graphic setting), the level of the puzzles (not too hard, but also not boring or too easy), and the story has been engaging, while mostly avoiding too much narration/exposition. It all gets quite poignant at the end, too. Voice acting is very good and that really helps to set the tone. This game is quite perfect to emerge yourself into on a cold, rainy winter's afternoon. The creators have clearly put a lot of effort and care into it. In sum, a little gem of a puzzler - and, in fact, one of my favourite new games of the year I think.

Un excellent jeu à l'ambiance et aux graphismes fort sympathiques. Beaucoup de clin d'oeil à l'univers de Lovecraft. Je le recommande pour tous fan de son univers.

Top-tier puzzle walking simulator. Pretty short but worth the price, and the visuals are absolutely fantastic. If you like lovecraftian stuff, especially aquatic themed, this game is a must.

an amazing adventure game. Its really beautiful to see another approach to the whole Cthulhu mythos other than the usual bleak darkish maddening settings they always place games with this theme. i love how colorful this was. the puzzle and the atmosphere where breathtaking.

Recomendadísimo si te gustan los juegos de resolución de puzzles y exploración.
Norah, nuestra protagonista, llega a una isla donde su marido, Harry, ha desaparecido mientras estaba buscando una cura a la enfermedad de su mujer. Tendremos que desandar el camino hecho por Harry y recorren cada rincón de la isla para conocer finalmente cuál ha sido su destino.
Call of the sea es un juego de exploración y puzzles donde el nivel de dificultad está muy bien medido, va de menos a más ♥♥♥ unos acertijos variados y muy originales. No tenemos inventario como tal, será nuestro diario ♥♥♥ las anotaciones sobre nuestras vivencias y el apartado de notas, los que nos servirán para poder avanzar y resolver cada puzzle. Obligadísimo releerlo cada vez que encontramos algo y acudir cuando nos veamos atascados.
La historia además es preciosa en sí misma, ¿qué harías por la persona que amas cuando ves que su vida corre peligro? Todo ellos mezclado ♥♥♥ un mundo de fantasía. De las cosas que más me han gustado es que huye de la moda de crear juegos ♥♥♥ sustos o tensión, algo que se podría prestar por la historia que nos cuenta. En lugar de eso, tendremos paisajes hermosos, coloridos, llenos de vida y ambientados ♥♥♥ una bso maravillosa que invita a recorrer la isla y encontrar cada tesoro oculto (hay logros de encontrar objetos escondidos).
En cuanto a la dificultad, en algunos momentos me he atascado, pero creo que se pueden resolver. El último sin embargo, me ha hecho perder neuronas de más. Me ha parecido complicadísimo pero madre mía la satisfacción que me ha dado completarlo y ver por fin el final de la historia. Preciosa.
En cuanto a las críticas sobre que es un juego español ♥♥♥ voces en inglés... Para mí no le resta calidad ni creo que sea criticable porque el doblaje de Norah es simplemente perfecto.
Juegazo de principio a fin.

A buggy mess. Did not finish because the game clipped me out of bounds and then overwrote my autosave so I couldn’t get back to where I was.
Stupid and annoying puzzles, ok story. Just read an HP Lovecraft short story and you’ll have a better time and save yourself 4-5 hours.

Call of the Sea is a brilliant little story game/puzzler - obviously lovecraftian (with lots of references for those who are familiar with HPL), it seems rather predictable at first but then you uncover the story of the expedition and as you work your way through the story there are some nice surprises too. The puzzles are interesting and doable, the graphics and the audio are great, and the story is really good and engaging too. The decision at the end was quite agonising (I think I made the right choice though...) since by that point i was quite involved in the characters too! It's really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it's not too long either (I played for about 7-8 hrs) - I'd definitely recommend it!

Отличное сочетание квеста от первого лица с историей в стиле Лавкрафта в не затянутой игрушке. Больная неизвестной науке болезнью героиня приплывает на таинственный остров в поисках своего пропавшего мужа, и естественно попадает в водоворот мистических событий. Несмотря на принадлежность к лавкрафтовской вселенной, в игре абсолютно нет элементов ужастика. Головоломок не особо много, отлично подобран уровень их сложности в подавляющем большинстве случаев: игрок может задуматься на пять минут, но вместо раздражения и необходимости поиска решения в интернете (кхе, Мист) приходит озарение. И все это сделано в приятном графическом стиле.

Une belle histoire romantique dans des environnements magnifiques.
Le level design est vraiment de bonne qualité. C'est beau, logique et bien pensé. On se laisse transporter aisément sur cette île.
Je regrette juste qu'il n'y ait pas plus d'énigmes qui pour les présentes sont abordables pour tout le monde. Rien d'insurmontable ici.

Une bien jolie balade !

Call of the Sea is a wonderful puzzle adventure game with some excellent presentation. You play as Norah, a woman whose husband Harry has gone missing while trying to investigate a cure for Norah’s mysterious disease on a tropical island. After receiving a package from an unknown sender, she decides to head to the island to try and find her husband herself, and uncovers something unsettling and otherworldly.

Every inch of the areas you’ll explore are beautifully crafted, and it’s hard to overstate this. I found myself stopping to admire every new scenic view, all of the objects, and the architecture. The game is stylized to look a little cartoony, and it allows things to really pop. The lighting really sells it, it makes everything feel almost real, as if this island was a place that you could really visit.

The well-crafted world supports the game’s puzzle design. You’ll encounter doors that need to be opened, bridges that need to be lowered and more as you make your way through the game. You’ll have to get past these by searching the area for information. As you find these, Norah will draw the relevant bits into her notebook, which can be accessed at any time. This means you won’t have to go back to the spot you found it in again just to get another look at it.

More importantly, this note taking system clues the player into whether they’ve found everything yet or not. Norah’s notes will always fill a whole page, so obvious blank spots mean you’ve got more looking around to do.

This is such a brilliant idea. So often I’ve been frustrated by puzzle games because I can’t figure something out, only to realize that I hadn’t found everything I needed to solve a given puzzle. Developer Out of the Blue deserves recognition for figuring out a way to bypass this problem and implement it into the game in a way that feels natural.

The music and sound design deserve some praise too. Making progress in a puzzle is often accompanied by a small musical cue, and finishing them treats you to some truly great orchestral pieces.

Norah’s voice actress Cissy Jones does a great job giving the character life, and really carrying most of the game. The vast majority of the lines are Norah speaking to herself, wondering about her husband, the island, or commenting on puzzles, gently nudging players in the right direction. Some of her best moments come at the end of the game.

SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING

Throughout the course of the game, Norah discovers that she’s either a descendant of the people who lived there many years ago, or a former inhabitant; it's not entirely clear. Her illness is a result of her not being on the island and undergoing a transformation into a fish-human hybrid.

The player is forced to decide between staying on the island, allowing Norah to live without her illness, or going to live with Harry, who set up this whole ruse in the first place. Whichever you choose, the game will make you feel the weight of your choice. Neither ending is strictly ‘the good one’ or ‘the bad ending.’ Both made me sadder than I expected to feel when I started this game: a fun mystery on an island became a melancholic game about life, love, and death.

It made me want to hug my girlfriend, to hold her tight, to treasure the ultimately limited time we’ll have together, since “in real life, true love stories don’t end with a wedding. They end with a funeral.” And a game that can make me feel that way, on top of looking great, sounding great, and telling an engaging story, gets my wholehearted recommendation.

A beautiful, gripping adventure that visually reminds me of such gems as Firewatch, an equally lovely Soundtrack. The riddles are not too challenging and the so far is well written and executed!
Definitely worth your time if you are into everything Lovecraftian.

Call of the Sea is a beautiful game, that above all is evocative of its themes and immersive in its presentation.
The story is relatively straightforward, but nontheless interesting, and sucks you in as a player in pursuit of the central mystery of the game.

The beautifully crafted puzzles are the central gameplay element of the game and are very interesting to solve, even if for my taste at least a little bit to easy at times. Overall the game is also rather short and does not really provide any replay value apart from revisiting chapters to search for a few hidden items and journal entries. I finished my playthrough at 5 hours.

That makes it hard to recommend in terms of value for money, when you take a look at other cheap games that can provide hundreds of hours of fun.

Still Call of the Sea is a wonderful exploration of its genre, that is polished and well crafted, and is well worth it if you are a puzzle fan and want a straighforward cinematic experience that never feels boring, unfair with its puzzles or overindulges on itself with unnessecary padding.

Overall a great game made by a small team of developers, whose love for the subject can be felt on every step of the way!

not an altogether bad game, it's very strong in certain aspects - level design is solid, game looks really pretty if smeary at times, some great megalophobic interactions, the archaeological perspective is an interesting one, good sound design. i thought it was neat how the protag would kind of muse to herself while exploring.

the puzzles are pretty simple, and by the end of each level i was wishing it had ended a bit sooner. even sprinting you move rather slowly - this fits with the idea that you are a small being surrounded by looming architecture, but it becomes a real slog over time. the narrative is pretty boilerplate and not compelling, as is the mode of telling it - there's quite a lot of telling and not showing, and in lieu of that, notes and objects. a good deal of model reuse which isn't terrible in itself, but was pretty immersion breaking for an otherwise immersive game. couldn't quite figure out what tone it wanted to strike - definitely closer to majestic adventure serial than creeping dread. so it's a mostly fun pulp walking sim through Cthulhu mythos with mild puzzling, and if that's your thing you will probably enjoy yourself most of the time. i just ended up feeling underwhelmed by it. really great production value though

This game really didn't end up being for me. The visuals were pretty good, and the environment was quite nice, however ultimately there are two main things that make me not motivated to play this game much further. The story isn't all that intriguing for me, I don't really have any attachment for the person we are looking for since we don't even get to see them in the beginning of the game outside of photos. The puzzles are pretty basic as well and just aren't really fun or interesting. Overall, I'm sure this appeals to someone but I just really can't get into it, 3/10.

Call Of The Sea c’est un peu le jeu que l'on a tous déjà fait, un soupçon de Firewatch, un zeste de Talos Principle et une pincée d’Edith Finch. Sauf que le résultat final ne donne rien d’autre qu’un jeu qui ne sait pas trop où vous emmenez, enchaînant les puzzles à l’overdose pour rallonger une durée de vie bien trop courte et en vous expliquant chaque merdouille trouvée sur le sol par des monologues qui ferait passer notre héroïne pour une patiente de l'hôpital de Silent Hill.

Du haut de ces 5 petites heures Call of the Sea avait tout d’un grand, sur le papier, les deux premiers chapitres (sur six) étant assez intrigants et surtout propulsés par une superbe DA, qui au-delà d'avoir une palette de couleurs sursaturées rendant non-voyant, son cadre polynésien offre quelques facettes rarement observées en jeu vidéo.

Malheureusement, la surexploitation des puzzles devient vite fatigante, sachant qu’il est difficile de faire plus de 5 mètres, sans se retrouver face à des casse-tête qui n’ont pas vraiment de sens de manière diégétique sur cette île, ni même de sens pratique tout court. Ta gueule, c’est magique, mais après Soma, c’est bien plus difficile pour moi d’accepter cela, et ce même si certains puzzles sont rudement bien pensés.

Encore une fois le personnage qui commente, tout, tout le temps, sans interruption, ça me donne envie d’envoyer voler ma souris, j'ai l’impression d'être pris pour un abruti qui n’est pas capable de comprendre 3 photos posées au sol.

Au-delà de ces quelques soucis, Call of the Sea repose sur une intrigue assez bien ficelée et qui donne matière au joueur d'être tenu en haleine jusqu'à la toute fin, et qui peut prendre deux formes, en fonction de l’unique choix disponible pour le joueur.

Le voyage au travers de l'île donne droit à de superbes paysages, même si j'aurais souhaité qu’ils soient moins morcelés, mais les différentes approches de gameplay dont je laisse le plaisir à chacun de découvrir offrent des moments d'exploration sympathiques.

En somme, Call of the Sea n’est pas mauvais, c’est certain, et possède un cachet particulier qui lui donne une identité spéciale, malheureusement, il semble être sorti des années 360/PS3, et ne réinvente pas la roue d’un genre surexploité.
Avec des années JV de plus en plus fournies en œuvres de qualité, il devient difficile de laisser de la place aux jeux tout juste convenables, Call of the Sea en fait partie.

6/10

Avertissements :
1 ce jeu n'est pas franchement mauvais mais souffre de certains défauts dont le tag lovecraftien, c'est pourquoi je le mets en "déconseillé" afin de pouvoir attirer l'attention des joueurs souhaitant savoir à quoi s'attendre
2 ne vous fiez pas à mon nombre d'heure sur steam, je l'ai terminé sur Epic et y ai joué un peu sur Steam pour pouvoir le commenter, regardez mes trophées sur steam et vous verrez que je ne mens pas, la cross-save m'ayant permis direct de jouer sur steam au dernier niveau
3 je n'avais pas connaissance de l'aspect lovecraftien avant d'y jouer, n'ayant pas remarqué le tag et n'ayant pas vu la photo de promotion avec Dagon, m'étant fait leurrer par l'aspect chatoyant des images
4 spoilers
5 désolé de la mise en page, mais il y a beaucoup à dire sur ce jeu et j'ai peur d'atteindre la limite de caractères

Bonjour.

Ce jeu, s'il présente de énigmes très intéressantes (j'ai pour ma part adoré celle du langage), souffre de 2 problèmes majeurs : sa narration et l'incertitude quant à son public cible.

Commençons par la narration.
J'ai lu dans les commentaires de Chronicle of Innsmouth quelqu'un critiquer le fait que ce dernier présente quelques blagues faisant, d'après le joueur, tâche avec l'univers. C'est vrai, ce dernier jeu présente 2-3 blagues AU DEBUT de l'aventure, avant d'arriver à Innsmouth, lorsque, dans la nouvelle, le protagoniste est encore qu'un touriste curieux, inconscient et joyeux.

Ici, même après avoir vu Dagon, même après avoir pris connaissance des différents drames, Norah, la protagoniste, continuera à déambuler et faire des réflexions comme si elle était en train de prendre le thé dans son salon avec sa voisine. Ce n'est que littéralement 5 minutes avant les crédits que vous l'entendrez réagir comme si elle était bien présente sur cette île. Je n'ai rien contre les block busters et contre le fait qu'un personnage, face à un ennemi puissant en confrontation directe, relache la pression avec de l'humour. Ici ce n'est pas le cas, l'ambiance étant censée être lovecraftienne et aucune tension concète n'étant perceptible.
Littéralement, lorsque Norah a enfin abandonné son ton détaché et commencé à réagir, j'ai failli renverser mon verre de soda sur mon clavier tellement j'ai été surpris et pris au dépourvu, et mon temps de jeu sur steam a été sans son pour ne pas l'entendre.
Les monologues ne tenant pas compte de l'évolution de Norah dans l'histoire, on a aussi droit à des alternances de ton digne d' Oblivion.
Lorsque Norah réagit enfin à son aventure, sa réaction est approximativement "Pourquoi as tu fait ça ? tu es mort maintenant et je suis toute seule !!! Snif Snif (avec une voix pleureuse)........ Mais es-tu vraiment mort ? (avec une voix dubitative sans plus aucune trace de chagrin)", le changement se faisant en environ 4 secondes, pour ensuite nous offrir ce que Lovecraft faisait de pire dans ses oeuvres : un déluge d'exposition (voir par exemple la fin des montagnes hallucinées pour comprendre) puis une scène digne d'"insaisissables" ou des Sherlock Holmes de Guy Richie.
On a aussi droit, avant d'arriver à cette fin, à un passage qui m'a fait croire que j'étais dans un Disney, avec musique d'aventure merveilleuse et animaux semblant nous saluer. Je m'attendais presque à les entendre se mettre à chantonner une ritournelle.

2ème souci : savoir à qui s'adresse ce jeu.

Ce jeu nous offre une multitude de références aux oeuvres de Lovecraft semblant indiquer un public de connaisseurs de l'oeuvre. Mais en même temps, les connaisseurs de l'oeuvre seront devant ce jeu comme les spectateurs de "The batman", avec les "rebondissements" dévoilés dès avant que l'histoire commence et uniquement surpris, à la fin, par le fait que l'auteur croit nous surprendre, encore que ici il y ait un rebondissement du au fait d'un élément non inattendu mais qui ne fait aucun sens au vu du tag lovecraftien.
Si vous connaissez Lovecraft et encore plus si vous avez lu "le masque d'innsmouth" ou vu le film "Dagon" (dont les créateurs de ce jeu semblent avoir récupéré les premières notes du thème musical) vous saurez les tenants et les aboutissants avant même la fin du rêve introduisant le jeu, avant de prendre le contrôle du personnage et ne serez jamais aucunement surpris sauf par l'élément dont je parlais : un amour persistant entre Norah, notre protagoniste descendante de Dagon, et son mari humain.
Le coeur même de l'oeuvre de Lovecraft est la xénophobie, la peur de l'étranger et une vision de chocs des civilisations en attente. De mes souvenirs, seulement deux fois Lovecraft fait preuve dans ses oeuvres d'une ouverture d'esprit envers les éventuels étrangers à l'humanité ("les montagnes hallucinées" et "dans les murs d'Eryx" oeuvre présentant une morale proche d'Avatar)
Tout le reste du temps, l'ennemi est celui qui n'est pas un WASP urbain ou un descendant de "race forte et pure".
C'est justement un aspect qui me sert d'exemple d'égalité des hommes : quelque soit sa couleur, sa race, son ethnie, sa culture ..... une personne trouvera de l'intérêt à l'oeuvre xénophobique de Lovecraft car saura imaginer un autre groupe dont se méfier.

Inclure une histoire d'amour entre deux individus d'origines aussi diverse et pleinement conscients de ce fait, dans un univers Lovecraftien, me semble être une incompréhension d' un des éléments au coeur de la base de l'univers de l'auteur (un autre étant que les dieux, s'ils existent, n'ont rien à faire de l'humanité). J'en profite pour signaler que le mari de Norah, dont on découvre à la fin qu'il est encore vivant, semble n'avoir rien à faire de ses découvertes et ne pas être choqué un seul instant. Entendons nous bien : on sait que la bible n'est qu'une fiction et que l'homme n'est pas au centre de l'univers et qu'on peut donc imaginer d'autres civilisations extraterrestres ..... mais si demain un vaisseau spatial arrive en orbite de la Terre, l'ambiance sera plus proche de celle du film Independence Day (avant l'attaque) quand les gens ne s'intéressent plus qu'à ça que celle montrée dans ce jeu.


Conclusion : un jeu pas spécialement terrible au point de vue narration voire mauvais, mauvais au point de vue suspense ou univers Lovecraftien mais présentant de chouettes énigmes

Too much exposition
Seems competently made, but the constant exposition about everything was a bit of a turn off.
If you're a firefighter, I don't need to hear you TELLING me that you're a fire fighter every moment. It's annoying, and doesn't allow me to immerse myself in the story.

Verdict

This isn't a bad game, but definitely buy this on a sale

Игра является квестом, бродилкой с решением загадок. Игра на unreal engine, это плюс, в связи с этим игра внешне приятная. Сюжет в духе произведений Лавкрафта, подводный мир, Ктулху и т.д., что интересно по возрастным ограничениям она от 6+, так что не страшная.

Сама игра поделена на главы, прошли первую, попадаете во вторую, первая же закрывается, вернуться обратно нельзя, это на мой взгляд минус, тут нет свободного острова, который игрок исследует как хочет, нет, строго по главам.

Как вариант, открытый мир с загадками, приятной графикой является - Quern. Вечные мысли, крайне советую.

Но я отвлекся, героиня ходит не быстро, порой это мешает, пока дойдешь до «рычагов» активируя их, и как последовательность нарушиться, к примеру, иди медленной походкой активировать их снова.

Загадки в игре не сложные, порой не логичные, порой затянутые, также по мере игры можно записывать информацию в дневник, ачивка есть на 100% сбор, так вот допустим, вы пропустили точку интереса для записи в конце главы и не сохранились, все проходите эту главу сначала (в меню выбора глав), т.к. вернуться назад нельзя.

В целом, на мой взгляд, игра на один раз, купил по скидке, прошел и забыл. Есть представители данного жанра гораздо интересней.

The story was interesting, it wasn't too bad...Idk maybe I'm a dumbass, but some of the puzzles were hard to understand with what they gave you sometimes. Good looking game, but man does she walk too slow for me, even when holding down shift. 5/10

Juego muy inteligente que sabe repartir sus cartas, que seamos sinceros son limitadas, su desarrolladora indie a echo un trabajo encomiable a la hora de ejecutar su producto en su faceta de diseño. La historia es intrigante y los puzzles muy satisfactorios de resolver, quiza alguno no esta muy bien hilado y te podes perder, pero el 99% estan bien resueltos.

El ritmo del progreso nunca se estanca, los capitulo se van sucediendo entre matices que enriquecen la variedad, no es un videojuego que vaya de claros a oscuros. Como si de una partitura tratara, se va decantando entre notas negras, blancas y corcheas, esto garantiza que no sepamos que esperar y muchas veces quedemos sorprendidos en esta aventura de corte cosmolovecraftiana.

No se trata tanto de resolver el misterio que nos presentan, ya que pasada su mitad sospechamos cual es el origen de nuestro personaje, las pistas son bastante obvias.
La lucha es interna de cada personaje , hay que aferrarse a nuestros deseos o dejarlos ser??? cuando es el momento de soltar o no hacerlo nunca??? Querremos pagar el precio???. En cierto punto las dudas atraviesan tambien al jugador como un filoso cuchillo, haciendonos parte de esta inquietud.

Los graficos son bellos, no por su complejidad, sino por su direccion artistica, cada elemento sea natural o artificial esta cuidadosamente diseñado y ubicado. La composicion musical se encuentra a la altura, tanto como sus efectos de sonido.

Y ahi terminan sus bondades, es que el juego sin ser una maravilla tecnica, esta muy mal optimizado, pide mucha maquina para lo que es, no se si es un port de consolas o no, pero ♥♥♥ una 1070 GTX, 16 de ram e i7, no puede ser que vaya poco fluido, empaña mucho la experiencia, probe bajando su resolucion al minimo y los tirones persisten, muy poco pulido.

Lamentablemente mi nota baja considerablemente por lo tecnico, una pena, en condiciones de juego ideales sumaria 1,4 puntos mas.

Mi nota: 7,5

Call of the Sea is a short, visually pleasing puzzle game with a Lovecraftian story. You can easily finish the game in one sitting, puzzles are not that hard. Protagonist Norah walks a bit slow so game can feel too slow at times especially if you are looking for a log entry or a note that you missed. The story is a bit more lighthearted than usual Lovecraftian stories but it gets creepy and thrilling at times thanks to great visuals. In short if you are looking for a challenging puzzle game pass this one but if you are looking for a short interesting adventure i recommend giving this one a go.

Absolutely amazing game! I honestly didn't expect to like it as much as I did. First of all, for me it was visually stunning, the landscapes, the lightning- just walking around gave me so much joy. The story was great and the option to make a choice at the end was a pleasant surprise. I also really liked the riddles, although they weren't too complicated (which might be a drawback for some people), I loved that I could just relax with this game (which again, the visuals and overall atmosphere were perfect for that). I will definitely looking forward to more from Out of the Blue

Внимание! Данный обзор технически содержит спойлеры, так как в нём обсуждается сюжетное строение игры.

Весьма неплохая, но далёкая от идеала игра. Красочная графика, хорошая озвучка, вызывающая симпатию героиня. Несложные и вполне логичные загадки, интригующий сюжет. При должном внимании, видно инди происхождение: несовпадение текста и озвучки, ошибки в тексте, неидеальная геометрия уровней, баги. Но эти проблемы малочисленны и на них можно закрыть глаза. Самым большим недостатком является сюжет или, даже, сюжетная принадлежность.

Игра с самого начала и большую часть времени ведёт себя, как яркая, красивая, наивная, лёгкая, смешная и романтичная адвенчура. Что-то в духе "Романа с камнем"[ru.wikipedia.org] и "Копей царя Соломона"[ru.wikipedia.org]. Но дело в том, что это - лавкрафтовщина, и об этом периодически напоминают элементы драмы и хоррора. А потом история снова возвращается к своей лайтовости. Эти вставки не сочетаются с общим настроением, а попытки придать сюжету серьёзность влекут за собой вопросы к самому сюжету.

Жаль, что разработчики не стали придерживаться этой самой лёгкости - у них бы получилась очень приятная игра. А так... Она просто неплоха.

Quite a pretty game, with a great visual style and a lot of striking set-piece locations. The puzzles are for the most part straightforward, the journal containing all of the pertinent information for solving them as long as you've explored each area sufficiently. The story and setting are the main draw.

If I had to nitpick, I would say that there are moments when information arrives out of joint, like Norah learning about something extensively through notes, only to be suddenly 'surprised' by that thing afterward, as though you haven't just spent ten minutes finding out about it. Similarly, it's pretty obvious from the jump what the story is going to be -- and it's reasonable, at least at first, that Norah herself wouldn't be able to see where things are heading, but toward the late stages of the game her bafflement sort of starts to strain credibility...especially since she puts some specific pieces together in an exposition sequence at the end in a real hurry.

In all though, I enjoyed my time with this one. People looking for a relaxing, bite-sized, narrative-focused puzzler with these themes will probably enjoy it, too.

A good Cthulhu mythos-lite adventure. Light to medium level puzzles. Game is presently a little glitchy/wonky with the note-taking system, but good overall. Voice acting is very good but the voice direction is all over the place. For example, the main character will learn a thing at one point in the story then 10 minutes later in gameplay will say something like, "why is this happening?!" Huh? You just learned why! Other moments the main character will "figure out" a story element or acknowledge that something has happened that they have no way of knowing and it's very jarring to the immersion, which is why I play a game like this.

For a game with very linear exploration and no puzzles to get lost in you would really hope for a more solid story. Still, I'd give it 7.5/10. Fun for a day but almost zero replay value.

Первые 2 главы все было радужно, классно, круто, атмосферно, интересно. А вот начиная с 3 главы я проходил игру по какому-то гайду с левого сайта, и cрaлся на каждом шагу, если сначала было пиздeц как интересно бегать по локе и думать что нaxyй надо сделать, то вот потом это какой-то жесточайший харкор додуматься до всей этой xyйни, да и интерес пропал. Я ставил многое на эту игру. но она меня разочаровала.
Вообщем по тому же гайду фастом допрошел и поделал изи ачивки для платины. Жалко бабки нельзя вернуть.

И да я xyeсос потому что воспользовался стим ачивмент менеджером, только для того чтобы выполнить ачивку где нужно лол купить все игры этого кoнчeннoго издателя.

Visually stunning game with a very well written story that will keep you intrigued all the way through. The puzzles took thought, but not overly mind-boggling, which helps keep you immersed in the plot. The challenges do get harder as you go, but again, not staggeringly difficult. I definitely recommend this if you are into story-rich adventure puzzle games.

Смешанные впечатления, местами неплоха, но где-то не допилена, где-то не понятная, где-то кривая. Сюжет скомканный, ничего, почти, не расскрывает. Симультор ходьбы, исканий предметов, долбёжки в головоломки (не из-за того что они сложные, они просто плохо объяснены). Единственное, что не имеет минусов здесь, это именно сама картинка, не графика, водопада (где я вспыл, и потерялся на 5 минут), а цельная картина, закаты, палатки и т.д.
Не советую

"H' c' ah phalgof'n"

Love between two old pals. Tahitian views. The sea. Archaeology. Culture. Language. Sounds like the perfect classic romantic story, right? But mix this in with a disappearance and a mystery....as well as (non-horror) references to Lovecraftian lore...

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, this game was a gem to find! Not being able to travel IRL, Call of the Sea allowed me to take a virtual vacation and travel upon the lush beautiful Tahitian island. So many picturesque, postcard worthy landscapes! It was full of interesting cultural knowledge about an ancient civilization as well as Polynesian culture and traditions. And the discovery of the obstacles and journeys it takes to know one's true self and the meaning of true love. And there were many puzzles - some were easy to understand and some took some time to figure out (as well as some guidance).

PROS: Interesting story-driven game that attracted my attention, Learned a lot about different civilizations and history, beautiful scenery, interesting puzzles, beautiful soundtrack, lots of research done to provide details related to the people in this game
♥♥♥♥: Game lags a lot (and not due to Norah's illness!), hard to interact with objects or places at times, felt a bit motion sickness, sometimes too dark
*Although I grew to like it as I got to know the character better, the voice of the main character made me uncomfortable at first.

Spoiler alert: for those who finished the game to read:
How did Norah and Harry meet? Was she a student or a classmate of his? I feel so sad that the love of Harry's life had such limited time on earth but that Harry could not be of the sea either. I guess its fitting in a way since he was an archaeologist and studied things that existed before the here and now.

Norah: "Have you ever been in love, Captain Hodgson?"
Captain: "In love? You mean like in a romance novel?"
Norah: "No, that's fiction, Captain."
Norah: "In real life, true love stories don't end with a wedding. They end with a funeral."


"Dear old pal of mine"

但是这游戏玩起来太容易让人犯困了 足足花了三四天玩 玩一会就超困
前三章和第六章我觉得设计的不是太好 各种线索谜题不太好找 点名第三章 黑不溜秋
第四章第五章是这个游戏最好玩的 画面也超带劲 尤其是第五章 特别漂亮
还有女主走路是真的慢啊 哪怕跑路(就那个快走 也很慢 第六章人给走麻了 那么点地方走来走去
还有那个第五章(大概 机关点散布的这么开 一旦按错还不能弹回去 要从头开始再整 人依旧是走麻了

Хорошая игра. В основном головоломки не особо мудреные, концепция понимается достаточно быстро. Игра красивая - иногда было приятно отвлечься от игрового процесса и позалипать минуту-другую на сочный пейзаж. Сюжет - сносный, с духом Лавкрафта. Есть забавные отсылки. Игра не очень долгая - неспешное прохождение заняло около 5 часов. Игру можно советовать для прохождения.

Поиграв, могу сказать, что игра стоит потраченного времени и денег. Очень трогательный и захватывающий сюжет. Головоломки отличные, не совсем мудрёные, как в некоторых играх. Мало беготни от одного места к другому, что радует. 10 ромбиков из 10!

A complete failure of game design. The game gives you clues but with no inkling of how they are meant to be used. Some clues cannot be recorded into your notebook until you have looked at specific things across the island, making puzzles impossible to complete if you didn't read the right note before progressing. But the order in which clues need to be obtained is never expressed. Clues necessary to complete puzzles are scattered to very edges of level boundaries, forcing the player to walk back and forth across terrain they most likely have already tread before. The game lacks respect for the players time, having the playable character Norah move incredibly slow. This gripe is worsened by the aforementioned back tracking which plagues the game. There are many situations where you will have to choose between going right or left, and if you choose wrong, you will need to walk back to both locations before proceeding. Dead ends with no rewards for investigating alternative routes also exist to further annoy anyone looking for hidden secrets. All of this points to a game with large amount of padding to draw out the playtime and make the experience seem more grandiose, when in reality is only highlights the failings present. Matching the quality of everything else in the game, the story is disastrous. With a main character who never emotes or reacts realistically to the events which unfold around her, nor a story which lives up to the mysterious setting it promises, the plot is a failure on all fronts. I cannot recommended this game in any way to anyone. No matter what experience you are hoping the get from this game, they all fall short in major ways. If you are looking for a quality walking sim reminiscent of Firewatch or What Remains of Edith Finch, then just go replay Firewatch or What Remains. I promise your time will be better spent.

- Gameplay très lent, pour courir il faut laisser appuyer le bouton shift (donc pendant tout le jeu... pourquoi la course n'est pas par défaut ???), donc explorer n'est vraiment pas fun. Les animations sont généralement lentes et inutiles (je pense notamment aux échelles).
- Le personnage pratique la "marmo-narration" à FOND (elle n'arrête pas de parler pour elle-même), ce qui m'a particulièrement dérangé. Elle a toujours quelque chose à dire pour chaque objet ramassé/observé. Casse l'immersion et la concentration.
- Les puzzles ne sont pas très originaux et franchement pas satisfaisants à résoudre.
- C'est un jeu extrêmement linéaire et rempli de murs invisibles.
- Le scénario me semble bateau et ne me donne pas envie de continuer. Aucune surprise dans l'histoire, tout est cousu de fils blancs.
- Il y a des scènes de type "walking simulator" où il n'y a rien à faire sauf avancer dans un "long couloir" et écouter le personnage réfléchir.
- Bugs embêtants, comme la souris windows apparaissant dans le bord de l'image lorsqu'on bouge la caméra, des passages sous le niveau.

+ Décors parfois jolis, l'ambiance générale est cohérente et variée
+ Voice acting satisfaisant (malgré le trop plein du personnage principal)

Immersive simulation and puzzles are both game genres that I enjoy. Saw Call of the Sea on someone's stream and thought this is right up my alley and I managed to grab it during good sales. However, after completing the game plus all the available achievements, while my playing experience is decent, I think the final verdict is that i probably won't be recommending it.

♥♥♥♥:
I like the art direction and the graphics when i saw it on stream and also on video reviews. But playing it on pc with a 24", 1080p, ips monitor on Max settings, i just have this lingering feeling that the game is built for the console, couch viewing with a max resolution of 960p in mind.. FOR ME, everything just felt abit underwhelming, can be abit sharper and more detail. For the puzzles themselves, they also never quite give me a nice sense of satisfaction after solving them like many of such similar games did. They are just ok and again the same underwhelming feeling. There are only 2 possible endings and I don't quite like both of them.. lol Also there are a number of mysteries still left unexplained after the game has ended.

Pros:
The puzzles I imagined if it was real life can be considered to be very realistic as there was very little hand-holding in the game. The background music is good. If you enjoy steam achievements, you can "easily" complete all of them for this one~

Conclusion:
While i won't recommend Call of the Sea, I also didn't regret playing it. For me it was a decent, pleasant although somewhat underwhelming experience. 6.5/10.

I think Call of the Sea is best described as a walking simulator with some light puzzling along the way, never gets to hard and I didn't feel stuck or needing the help of a guide at any point.

I'm sure some people will find it a bit to linear and hand-holdy, which is not wrong, but sometimes a good story can carry a more accesible game.

Story is interesting and well-written, and is clearly based on Lovecraft, graphics are generally stunning and a lot more colorful than you would expect of the setting, narration is very well done and the sound and music is top notch.

Absolutely worth both your time and money.

A charming game and clever tonal subversion of the source material / trope conventions of the genre. If you are at all familiar with the Mythos and find even a few of the secret items linked to Norah's family history you know where the story is going long before she figures it out. This didn't really detract from my enjoyment as the themes of acceptance or rejection of your fate and eternity versus entropy are well handled.

The game has some stylistic similarity to Firewatch as well as sharing a voice artist along with some tangential themes. The puzzles vary in difficulty considerably which is not a problem as Norah's comprehensive notebook makes solving even the harder ones manageable. Her comprehensive notebook puts the difficulty somewhere between a walking simulator like Firewatch and a conventional puzzle adventure such as Obduction.

The game is not long and can easily be completed over a weekend such I did. It feels like the right length and considering the price point is perfectly reasonable. As with a short story, more would have made it less.

Dropped it. Hundreds of insignificant objects each met with some bland variation of “What were they doing here?” In fact the protagonist is seemingly disinterested even when encountering Lovecraftian horrors. Some overly complicated puzzles with no indication as to whether or not you have all the pieces at hand and the sluggish movement makes backtracking for them all the more infuriating.

This was a walking simulator with some puzzle elements. Some puzzles were fun, but others were tedious, with badly explained objectives and poor UI. Nora walks/runs very slowly, so a lot of time is wasted trudging from one side of the room to the next. I found Nora's constant commenting on her situation irritating, and the story unimaginative. This game just felt like a vastly inferior version of SOMA.

The mouse movement is atrocious. Even with turning off the camera smoothing settings, motion blur etc the camera behaves oddly where it will get "stuck" when moving, like there is a weird dead zone programmed into the camera movement. This goes away in menus and when examining things so it must be tied just to camera movement. Refunding until this is fixed.

+ A pretty good plot
+ In a nice environment
+ The riddles are *mostly* entertaining and satisfying.

- Too much walking for my taste
- Exploration is unnecessarily handicapped by level design/restrictions
- In chapter 6 the character got stuck in the ground. Reloading fixed that issue, but messed up the puzzle

7/10

游戏挺好,就是过于刻意地叠加克苏鲁元素,反而失去了未知的恐惧的感觉,克苏鲁爱好者完全能猜到剧情走向。但总体值得一玩

O jogo é lindíssimo, os puzzles são interessantes e apresentam níveis diferentes de dificuldade. Dos jogos do estilo que já joguei, esse foi um dos que mais gostei. É necessário prestar atenção em todos os detalhes e aplicar soluções lógicas que dialogam com a história de forma fluida.

Petit jeu sympathique.
Les + :
La DA est vraiment très belle, je me suis surpris à juste contempler des paysages, ce qui ne m'arrive que rarement dans les jeux.
L'histoire est bien racontée et on a envie de savoir ce qui arrive aux personnages.
La progression est fluide tout au long du jeu, rien n'est frustrant.

Les - :
Le jeu est honnêtement trop simple. Tous les éléments d'intérêt pour les énigmes sont ajoutés dans les "Notes" et parfois les puzzles se résolvent presque tout seul dans votre journal. Ceci est un peu dommage et conduit au deuxième point, qui est semi négatif selon ce que vous attendez du jeu.
Le jeu est court. Je l'ai terminé en 5h en prenant mon temps et en fouillant bien partout pour avoir les succès. Ce n'est pas forcement un mal, surtout que le jeu n'est pas très cher.

Voilà donc un conclusion un jeu d'énigmes pas prise de tête qui raconte une histoire intéressante dans de beaux décors colorés. Je recommande (mais peut être en solde).

This is better as a story rich walking sim than what I want from a puzzle game, but the story as mostly told from the female protagonist is hit & miss, so I can't recommend this game even at historic low price.
Here is what you need to know:
+You play Norah who explores a beautiful wonderous island in search for her husband who led an expedition to find a cure for Norah's illness.
-Half the time she talks it helps build the narrative and the infection fits the current tone, but other times it is brain dead observations of things you make her interact with and a vocal inflection to match.
-Half the puzzles were intuitive, and the other half were obtuse in how to ultimately figure them out. For example in one puzzle, I knew I only needed to use a subset of symbols available and exactly which ones, but no clues/context/journal suggested what order to put the 5-6 symbols in. That's at least 100+ combinations.
?It lovecraftian in that there becomes an emphasis on sea creatures and gods, but don't expect Cthulu.

"Чудесная игра"
Игра на самом деле очень короткая, но какая! Красочный пейзаж, великолепное музыкальное сопровождение и интригующий сюжет. Игра чисто состоит из головоломок и сюжетной информации. Игроку не дают умереть, ему нужно просто ходить и ходить решая головоломки и этим же раскрывая смысл сюжета, поэтому находка всей информации будет вознаграждена полным картиной происходящего. Это ретро, фантастическая, мистическая и приключенческая головоломка, в которую должны сыграть все поклонники жанра.

Ну що можна сказати. Гру пройшла і вона мені точно запам'ятаєься. І це здобуток виключно головної героїні Нори, котра впродовж усього проходження ну аж ніяк не погла стулити рота.

Ну серйозно, жіночка коментує все що бачить. Йде по острову і каже "ой який файний острів", бачить пташок і каже "які файні пташки", бачить будинки і каже: "о, там будинки!", бачить дерев'яну табличку і каже "о це дерев'яна табличка котру вирізають люди такої-то народності, в книзі про них читала" (щиро рада за неї, читати вміє), потім баче могилу і каже "о, невже... хтось помер?". Ну я не знаю, жіночко, може у членів експедиції хоббі таке - могили рити і писати імена один одного на надгробках. Ну або хтось таки помер.
Говорить постійно. А після того як Нора прокоментувала все що бачить в бій йде важка артилерія - вона починає травити історії з дитинства, чи взагалі ультує і починає говорити про свої почуття. Про почуття. Почуття. ааа.... коли я купувала гру по всесвіту Лавкрафта я знала що це будуть жахи, але до такого психологічного горору я була чомусь не готова.
І це в принципі єдиний горор який тут є, зате який.

Пазли тут присутні і вони норм, але їх мало. Гра - то більше симулятор ходьби, щоб був час насолодитися соком, жиром, м'ясом і ядром історії - розмовами про почуття.

Щодо сюжету, то таємниця хвороби Нори є таємницею лише для неї. Тому її розслідування не було чимось загадковим чи цікавим. Але мушу зазначити, що в кінці є сюжетний розворот, який мене здивував і навіть мені сподобався. Застав мене зненацька, бо в іншому сюжет дуже передбачуваний. Також присутні 2 кінцівки, щоб їх побачити перепроходити гру (дяка богам) не треба, треба лише зберегтися вчасно, бо це вибір одного кліка який робиться в самому кінці перед титрами. Та і який би вибір ви не зробити, гра намагається зробити так щоб ви про то шкодували. Нашо? За шо?

Арт простенький, музики мало. Мабуть щоб нічого не заважало слухати голос Нори.

Гра одноразова, її можна пройти годин за 5-6, тож раджу почекати знижки якщо таки хочете зацінити гру особисто.

Красивый, но временами очень неспешный симулятор ходьбы. Головоломки хоть и логичные, но могут потребовать много однообразных и специально затянутых действий. Сюжет неплох, но знакомство с творчеством Лавкрафта желательно. Ачивки откровенно дурацкие. 7\10

graficamente carino,paesaggi davvero fatti bene,trama piuttosto interessante ed enigmi che mi hanno fatto perdere 20 anni di vita ♥♥♥ tanto di best3mmie per cercare di risolverli
nonostante abbia trovato dei simulatori di camminata che mi hanno attratto leggermente di più di questo,lo consiglio

I was expecting another doom&gloom Lovecraftian walking simulator… but Call of the Sea is a different beast.

Surely, there’s lots of walking and inner monologues, nevertheless every chapter ot the game involves challenging puzzles pushing the story forward. Never too hard, but enjoyably teasing players mind. It’s more of a casual adventure game than walking sim. No pointless chase scenes, no hiding from monsters or jump-scares. Just exploring and problem solving. Neat, engaging and relaxing.

Storyline is naturally, pretty obvious to every admirer of Lovecraft, but focus is not on horror.. which is very surprising and refreshing. Aesthetically it’s a beautifully crafted game, well voice acted, with enjoyable music and stylish graphics.

Even with two different endings, Call of the Sea manages to be a more lighthearted and hopeful look on the Lovecraftian lore and sells that version perfectly to its audience. Well, not everything needs to end with madness and oblivion.. and Call of the Sea is a perfect example of it.

Big, big recommendation for every lover of puzzle-adventure games.

This review is specially made for those who like indie games and completing all the achievements and have this game in their backlog. (minor spoilers ahead)

Description:
In Call of the Sea you travel to an island in the pacific to find your spouse. It’s a mix between hidden object location and puzzle solving with a walking simulator.

Achievements:
How many: 34 Achievements, most will be obtained by just playing the game.
How much time: Around 7,5 hours. The game itself is short, but you’ll need to replay some chapters unless you’re playing it following a guide from the start.
Game difficulty: Easy, the puzzles are relatively simple. Guides are available.
Achievement’s difficulty: Easy. Only a few achievements will require an extra effort.

Overall opinion:
I recommend this game if you’re into indie puzzle games. The game is short but the story, narration and graphics are good and will keep you engaged. Getting all the achievements won't take much effort either.

The puzzles were decent and the story was fairly interesting. I like Lovecraft, and there's quite a few references to Lovecraft stories. The environment was lovely, and the voice acting was surprisingly good for a game of this scope and budget.

The character should be moving 2-3x faster with the distances you need to cover. The game is pretty, but it took me roughly 5 hours to beat the game and it was only about 2.5 hours of content. The other 2.5 hours was just spent walking.

Overall, a good experience, but be prepared for some empty walking time.

Call of the Sea – дуже цікавий продукт, який на перший погляд нагадує собою відому гру Firewatch. Вони дуже схожі у плані графічного виконання, хоча тут більша різноманітність кольорів. Можна побачити як тропічні локації, так і більш містичні (а ще й різна погода у них!)
С точки зору геймплею, ми також переміщуємось по рівням та взаємодіємо з предметами. І якщо у Firewatch ми отримували сюжет здебільшого через діалоги, то тут майже усі розмови – це монолог головної героїні. Нора, за яку ми граємо, реагує на навколишній світ та знахідки і передає це через призму своїх емоцій та переживань.
Сюжет гри тим часом зустрічає нас класичною лавкрафтовською історією. Якщо гравець знайомий з роботами автора, хоч і поверхнево, основний перебіг буде доволі очевидним (тим паче що навіть у трейлер додали спойлер). Але, тільки після закінчення гри, можна оцінити основну роботу сценаристів. Лавкрафтовська історія виступає здебільшого фоном та декораціями, тоді як основний акцент стоїть на історії кохання та питань самопожертви. Навіть кінцеве рішення гравця не має якоїсь вірної відповіді і дозволяє людині самостійно відповісти на поставлені розробниками питання.

Окремо хочу виділити головоломки, які ми будемо зустрічати на кожному рівні і вирішення яких необхідно, щоб пройти далі. Задачі тут не рівня The Witness, але вони цікаві і мають свою складність. Здебільшого гра вимагає від гравця дослідити якісь знахідки, а Нора додає до журналу необхідну для вирішення інформацію. Таким чином гра дає можливість подумати над задачками, але не вимагає вигадувати доволі складні алгоритми чи неочевидні рішення. Хоч, як зазначено вище, їх неможна назвати тривіальними, вони все одно дозволяють грати на розслабленому рівні.

У висновках хочу зазначити що перед нами достойний, та навіть один з найкращих представників пригодницьких квестів, які можна пройти за один-два вечори. За цей час гравець зможе пережити різноманітні емоції, побувати у насичених локаціях та пройти стежками містики, вирішуючи головоломки.

І відповісти, чи сильніша доля особистості за щире кохання?

What a beautifully crafted game honestly.
call of the sea has a great story and a really fun gameplay.
The world they made is just incredible honestly, not even one moment where i wasn't amazed by the beauty of it.
filling my story log and taking my time looking for things was pretty fun and interesting.
Puzzles are also fun to do and figure for yourself with the knowledge you collect in your journal.
The game is short since it took me 5 hours to finish but in my opinion its 100% worth to get it and experience the adventure of Norah.

Bardzo rzadko się zdarza, że gra spodoba mi się na tyle, że kupuję ją za pełną cenę od razu na premierę. Tak stało się z Call of the Sea - logiczną grą przygodową, w której sterujemy młodą kobietą poszukującą swojego męża na tajemniczej wyspie pełnej tajemnic. Uwielbiam takie klimaty i od dawna czekałem na grę w tym stylu.

Niestety, ostatecznie okazało się, że wyszło z tego zupełnie co innego, niż się spodziewałem...

Gra ma sześć poziomów, podczas których trafiamy w przeróżne miejsca - plażę, wioskę, ruiny zamku czy świątynię. Muszę przyznać, że grafika prezentuje się tutaj zazwyczaj bardzo dobrze, choć czasem zdażają się małe problemy i glitche (no i poziom wodny to mały koszmarek) .
Nasza bohaterka podąża za śladem ekspedycji swojego męża, która wyruszyła tą trasą jakiś czas temu. Po drodze znajdziemy mnóstwo zapisków i listów z ich obozów. Najbardziej rozbawiły mnie te ostatnie - dlaczego załoga pisała do siebie listy, skoro podróżowali razem? Jest tu parę takich niespójności, ale przymknijmy na to oko, to nie największy problem Call of the Sea.

Call of the Sea

Bardzo ważnym aspektem w grach logicznych są dla mnie sekrety, zazwyczaj twórcy umieszczają ich mnóstwo i są bardzo ciekawie poukrywane. Jak samo menu wyboru poziomów wskazuje, w świecie poukrywane są murale i sekretne obiekty. Te pierwsze jednak znajdujemy na drodze i nie sposób ich przegapić. Sekretne obiekty też zazwyczaj nie są wcale sekretne. Jeden z nich znajdujemy rozwiązując zagadkę w inny sposób, niż konieczny do przejścia gry. W innych przypadkach to po prostu obiekt w świecie, który klikamy, postać mówi o nim jedno zdanie i tyle...

Call of the Sea

Przejdźmy jednak do sedna, czyli do zagadek. Największym minusem jest ich ilość - jedna lub dwie na poziom, w momencie gdy ów poziomów mamy w grze sześć, to zdecydowanie za mało. Trzeba jednak przyznać, że niektóre z łamigłówek są bardzo kreatywne i rozbudowane, aby je rozwiązać trzeba nabiegać się po całej lokacji. Szkoda, że główna bohaterka zapisuje dosłownie wszystko co istotne w notatniku. Można tak naprawdę przeklikać wszystko w danym miejscu, a potem zajrzeć do notesu, będą tam zapisane tylko te rzeczy, które mają konkretny związek z rozwiązaniem zagadki. Call of the Sea to gra logiczna, która zamiast pobudzić nasz mózg podaje wszystko na tacy, przez co rozwiązanie łamigłówki nie jest już takie satysfakcjonujące jak mogłoby być, gdybyśmy wpadli na nie sami.

Call of the Sea 
Une capture d'écran de Call of the Sea
Par : woziu542

Najbardziej jednak rozczarował mnie poziom 5, składający się z dwóch etapów i tym samym dwóch "zagadek". Pierwsza z nich odbywała się w sporej kamiennej wiosce. Wyobraźcie sobie dużą pustą wioskę z jedną, banalnie prostą łamigłówką, której rozwiązanie zajmuje dużo czasu tylko dlatego, że trzeba biegać kilometry od jednego miejsca do drugiego. Kolejna część tego poziomu odgrywała się w wodzie. Nie dość, że grafika w tym miejscu nie wyglądała przyjemnie, to nie spotkałem się z żadną zagadką (tak naprawdę była tam jedna, ale ciężko ją według mnie nazywać zagadką, bo przechodziła się sama).

Poziom piąty wymęczył mnie tak bardzo, że postanowiłem wystawić negatywną opinię Call of the Sea. Gra miała świetny potencjał, zaczynało się bardzo obiecująco, ale im dalej w las, tym wszystko zaczęło się psuć - grafika, poziom zagadek, a nawet komentarze głównej bohaterki, które były coraz bardziej irytujące z poziomu na poziom. Nie podobało mi się też trzymanie gracza za rączkę i praktycznie całkowity brak sekretów. Tak czy inaczej, jak już wspomniałem, zdarzyło się tu kilka bardzo ciekawych łamigłówek (trzy pierwsze poziomy i ostatni były świetne). Chociażby dla nich polecam Call of the Sea zakupić, ale zdecydowanie na jakiejś wyprzedaży.

GRAFIKA: 7.5/10 AUDIO: 7/10 ROZGRYWKA: 6/10 PLUSY: + zazwyczaj wygląda bardzo dobrze + niektóre łamigłówki są ciekawe i kreatywnie wykonane... MINUSY: - ... ale dostaliśmy ich zdecydowanie za mało - i niektóre ciężko nawet nazwać zagadkami - poziom pod wodą nie wygląda dobrze - dziennik głównej bohaterki psuje fun z gry - brak sekretów

i CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME. The puzzles are long and slow and boring and not easily explained you cant walk fast or run and jump there are no hint options. I had to use a walk through and even that I started to use to get through puzzles and started finding it long and boring by the 5 th chapter I just wanted to finish so I stopped playing and uninstalled. those that did enjoy the game deserve medals for sitting through such a long boring and very strange game even the ending is lacking yep I watched the walk through because I couldnt be bothered playing anymore Im sorry but OMG!!!!!!

One of the greatest walking simulators ever made. Spectacular, intense, with a majestic art direction, and a deep understanding of Lovecraft's themes while at the same time turning them into something different and original.

This is a beautiful game with a lovely story, but some of the mechanics made it an absolute chore to play. The walking speed (which was near criminal) combined with all the backtracking during the puzzles sucked. There were also a few bugs (namely the wheels in Chapter 6) and the fact that the game made my computer sound like a rocket launcher. Vsync and playing on Low graphics helped, but it sucks not seeing these graphics at their best.

Liked it - found the story intriguing and interesting, the puzzles challenging (especially near the end) but never unfair. Both voice acting and artwork / atmosphere are excellent. The style and tongue in cheek dialogue was somewhat reminiscent of the "Broken Sword" games I fondly remember. Appreciated the two separate "notebooks" (one more for objects and drawings, one "diary style") the game automatically updates so you don't have to take screenshots and/or extensive notes. Besides, the diary style book also enables you to review events and remember what happened so far.

Sometimes, after you solve the last puzzle a game just throws the credits screen at you and you get the feeling there was not enough time to finish properly - not here. There's two endings to chose from (I saved before deciding so I could try both) and they are both extensive and satisfactory. Especially one of the two is touching right up to, including and beyond said credits scroll by :-)

A decent puzzle game, with a competent plotline and some rarely-used storyline elements.

Pros:
* Good puzzles - tough, but mostly fair.
* Great voice actress.
* Beautiful graphics.
* Has a storyline element I rarely see (turning into a non-human, but in a good way).
* Puzzles are usually well-integrated into the level (eg: as opposed to a complex puzzle lock on a door)

♥♥♥♥:
* Short-ish - took me ~5 hrs (2 hrs were spent idling for unrelated reasons)

Meh:
* Each level only has 1-3 puzzles - not a really bad thing, though, the way the levels are designed.

NOTE: Game has a save system - I suggest you use it before the final room.

TL;DR: If you like puzzle games, 8/10; else, avoid.

TLDR; If you like walkies, scenery, depressing love stories and the super natural, you may quite like this game. If none of these things appeals to you, beware.

...now the prose:

I don't like to give negative reviews, especially where it is clear that so much work has gone into the production - especially of the visuals.

But I could only really recommend this game for people who like walkies. Don't be misled by the trailer videos; the gameplay there has been sped up by about 10X.

That would be my main complaint - it's sooo slooow. I should be used to this by now in these walkie-style adventure games that are based on the Unreal engine. But this one was just agonizing - the movement was slower than obduction, slower even than Firewatch. It's so frustrating when a puzzle game that is predicated on backtracking and repetitive movement limits character speed to a crawl. It gets a 5/10 for gameplay for me for that.

I found the voice acting decent, no complaints there. The story was, however, all but absent (and just depressing) - though it seems many may disagree with that take.

The visuals were fairly impressive, and I can see that a lot of work has gone into them; but, they have that "unreal 2k3" look to them that all the unreal engine games seem to have. Something about big, blocks, rounded assets with low-fi looking textures to them. There are also some surprisingly low-res textures in the game, especially on the island/beach scenes, that must have slipped by QC somehow.

Then there is the interface, which feels like treacle. The player look movement has a lot of momentum, causing a delay in response and overshoot when pivoting the first-person camera view or moving the character around that causes the whole experience to feel like you're immersed in treacle. This is not quite one of those games where you get finger cramp from holding the SHIFT key down to move long distances required, but it's getting there.

The puzzles were a decent compromise of difficulty and interest for the most part and I thought pretty well done, but there are a few which just involve so much movement & repetition and so many trials of combinations that I just found them too much of a chore and resorted to online guides. Hated those constellation puzzles especially.

So in summary: If you like walkies, scenery, and depressing love stories and the super natural, you may really like this game. If you are after something with even a hint of a quicker pace, depth of story, open world or the slightest bit of action you may really not like this game. Kudos to the developers for trying something a little different. To future me: let's try to avoid the walkies next time, even those disguised as adventure games.

Norah (voiced by Cissy Jones) did an amazing job in keeping you wanting to know more. Story driven emotional journey without the corny first-person monologues that you so often see in these type of games. Horror without trying to be horror. Be ready to walk as a normal person, aka. Sprinting is walking a bit faster, not running.

Im not big on exploration games but this was good enough to pull me in.
Puzzles were great ,simple and complex at the same time.
Graphics and artstyle is just incredible,performance is smooth too.
Story has satisfying endings.

Only complain i have is accecibility should have bigger clickable area for things to find,missed few spots cuz of it n its really hard to find things on 15inch screen laptop,also bigger texts would be great edition.
Overall another great indie game 9/10.

그래도 아름다운 배경, 적당한 퍼즐, 엔딩은 좋았으니까 일단 추천합니다,, 엔딩 크레딧 곡도 좋았어요

The controls are sluggish and laggy, and often just hard to use. They're not responsive or intuitive, and there's a slightly 'oh look, natives, how cute!' vibe throughout that I didn't feel very comfortable with.

I enjoyed it. Great story, the puzzles were not too hard, the voice acting was good, and the graphics were pleasing to look at. Only complaint is that my pinkie is sore from using it to push down shift to run all the time, and that there is just a lot of arbitrary running around from puzzle point to puzzle point that acts more like padding than actually contributing to the game. But it wasn't awful, and at least the environmentals are pleasing to look at while you hoof-it.

Call of the Sea is incredibly boring. I ended up quitting because there was so much walking involved, and your character sprints at the speed of a paraplegic tortoise. This game is 90% walking and 10% actually using your brain. It's pathetic.

On top of that, you get an uninspired Lovecraftian checklist in place of a compelling story, and a ditzy narrator who never shuts up and never reacts properly to any situation. Nora is certainly no Edith Finch.

To top it all off, this game makes my computer run hotter than Cyberpunk 2077. Why?

I wish I had refunded this trash. Raw Fury has burned me twice now and I'm not coming back for a third disappointment.

I'm very in the middle about this one, the puzzles are mediocre and there's only like 3-5 per chapter, you walk a bit too slow for all the backtracking you have to do, the first big twist was a bit too wacky for my tastes and the second wasn't hinted at so it just feels like it comes out of nowhere.

But, it's very pretty to look at, the voice acting is great and the first half of the story is decent, the main issue is that once you start getting invested in the story the subtle nods to HP Lovecraft turn into full blown fan fiction. It's like getting invested in a decent sci-fi movie and all of a sudden Darth Vader comes out and informs you that you were a Sith Lord the entire time.

game starts of strong. great atmosphere, likeable character, fun puzzles. the jungle environment was amazing to look at. but at pretty much the halfway mark the puzzles become very abstract and too much button/pattern/recognition stuff that isnt really grounded in reality. i lost interest at that point, but old school myst fans might enjoy the latter part.

All in all a nice and polished game.

pros:
-good story, very linear, yet well told
-good pacing
-excellent voiceactors
-smooth performance, no bugs that I saw
-good graphics and sound

♥♥♥♥:
-the puzzles are pretty easy and oldschool. I like to go to escape rooms a lot, and the puzzledesign reminds me on the first ones I have been to over 10 years ago. They are not up to date, at all.

Für mich der beste Walking Simulator den ich je gespielt habe und hat alle Elemente die ich am Genre so liebe. Schöne, spannende Story, tolle Schauplätze und mit Cissy Jones eine absolut tolle Sprecherin. Die Rätsel sind zum Teil sehr originell und nicht allzu schwer.

Absolute Empfehlung für alle Freunde von Abenteuer Spielen in denen nicht das Kämpfen sondern das Entdecken und Rätseln im Vordergrund steht.
5/5!

In questa avventura grafica mista ad un walking simulator, impersonate Norah, una moglie preoccupata della scomparsa dell proprio marito durante la sua ultima spedizione in un'isola deserta durante gli anni 30. Quindi lei decide di seguirne le tracce facendo un viaggio fino all'isola e qui viene lasciata sulla spiaggia dell'isola ♥♥♥ la raccomandazione che la verranno a prendere dopo 3 giorni. ( Non preoccupatevi, non c'e un tempo limite in cui finire l'avventura. ) Perciò voi iniziate dalla spiaggia ad esplorare l'isola alla ricerca delle tracce di vostro marito. Il gameplay è in prima persona ♥♥♥ enigmi carini e ambientazioni piuttosto evocative mentre vi addentrate nell'isola. Musiche buone e i sottotitoli in italiano fanno il loro dovere. La cosa buona è che oltre al salvataggio automatico avrete 3 slot dove salvare manualmente. La durata è ottima, in più durante l'esplorazione raccoglierete tante cose come fogli, fotografie in bianco e nero e quant'altro che faranno luce sulle vicissitudini del team esplorativo arrivato sull'isola molto prima di voi. Alcuni di essi vi saranno utili per capire e risolvere i vari enigmi che il gioco vi metterà di fronte. Ma non preoccupatevi se non vi ricordate degli indizi letti su un foglio visto chissà dove riguardante un enigma. Norah ha la buona abitudine di scrivere tutto nella sua agenda che potreste consultare ♥♥♥ la pressione di un tasto. Non ci sono nemici o puzzle che se sbagliati vi porteranno alla morte. Dovete solo godervi il paesaggio mentre la vera storia della spedizione vi verrà pian piano svelata. ^_^ Personalmente lo consiglio a tutti quelli a cui piacciono le avventure grafiche, lo sconsiglio a chi in un gioco vuole solo azione, qui di azione ci sono solo gli enigmi. ^_^

P.s: Il gioco è composto da capitoli che è possibile rigiocare in qualsiasi momento nel caso avete saltato qualche "collezionabile" ^_^

Not a bad game by any means. The visuals were great. Heavily stylized and beautiful, close to Sea Of Thieves. However, I would consider this a very much "on the rails" game, almost a walking simulator that has a story to tell. The puzzles are extremely simple, and the few that are "difficult" aren't difficult for the right reasons. There was something that continuously broke my immersion, and that's in the way the puzzle hints are laid out throughout the game. You are following in your husband Harry's footsteps on a remote island in attempt to find him. Wherever he has been, he leaves extremely cryptic notes detailing his solutions or attempted solutions to the island's puzzles. It's like if you asked me for the key to my garage door, and instead of just giving it to you I gave you a note with some algebraic equation on it. The ending has a bit of an explanation for this, but I didn't feel it was good enough. I went in to this hoping for more of a challenging puzzler, but left a little underwhelmed. If you do enjoy a more on the rails game with light story, this would be the perfect game for you. The visuals did make it an enjoyable enough experience for me though.

Oh man...

Zuerst mal das Spiel selbst ist generell nicht schlecht gemacht.
Der Grafikstil gefällt mir, der Sound passt die Puzzles sind ansprechend und eine Story ist auch vorhanden.

Also alles gut sollte man meinen aber das ist leider nicht so.
Es gibt in sehr vielen First-Person-Spielen eine Tastenfunktion die nennt sich "rennen" oder "schnell laufen".
Aber hier braucht man das ja angeblich nicht und genau das ist das Problem in diesem Spiel.
Das Laufen im Spiel ist sehr zäh und man fühlt sich regelrecht ausgebremst.
Grössere Bereiche die ich, um Rätsel zu lösen, manchmal mehrfach ablaufen muss nerven dann einfach nur noch ab.
Übrigens selbst Myst hatte wenigstens schon eine Möglichkeit zur Schnellreise - warum wohl...

Good short puzzle game in general, I'd give it a 7/10.

The Good:
Not boringly Lovecraftian. It's sadly gotten to the point that anything in the genre can just be completely seen through as far as the plot. I called the majority of it but there was enough twists to make it not feel stale.
A good puzzle variety, nothing too similar.
Good voice acting.
Characters flowed through the story smoothly
Good map and scene design.
Good ambiance

The Bad:
A couple of areas would chug significantly on large open generation.
Could feel some padding.
Some puzzles I Instantly knew what I needed to do and dreaded doing them for the amount of busy work.
The constellation puzzle was very annoying because of perspective.
There were a number of times I felt like yelling "Hurry the **** up!" to the character.

Spoiler section - - - - - - - - -- - - - -



For being a fish she sure was slow in the water. Would be nice to see that sped up.

I liked the Husbands end twist, could've used a bit more of a lead up though.

I don't understand why he couldn't stay on island and they make fish babies. I get immortal life vs mortal life, but the disease only effects her if she leaves. Just chill on the island for 20-30 years then you can leave and die together? Honestly the island seems pretty cool with him at the end and would likely enjoy fish grand babby. Just saying.

Ich habe versucht das Spiel zu mögen, aber so wirklich überzeugt hat es leider nie.
Es fühlt sich an wie ein großer Walking Simulator mit einem Puzzle pro Kapitel. Die Laufgeschwindigkeit ist auch super langsam, sonst wäre man in 3 Stunden durch anstatt 6. Und Leitern sind in dem Spiel extrem langsam, sehr nervige Mechanik. Leider hat sich das letzte Kapitel sehr laggy angefühlt und hat auch keinen Spaß gemacht. Beim Ende kann man sich für einen Weg entscheiden, leider hat die Story aber nicht überzeugt sodass diese Entscheidung überhaupt nicht schwer fiel, ich wollte einfach das es vorbei ist. Die Charakterin redet auch unglaublich viel Schwachsinn, vorallem am Ende.

Pro: Sehr schöne Grafik, guter Soundtrack und liebevollle Umgebung. Puzzels waren gut ausgedacht und nicht zu einfach.

the storyline is top notch, especially for voice actors

The interface is buggy. Very difficult to interact with objects. It takes many attempts to inspect an object or pick it up. The scene seems to be jumpy at times. I think the puzzles would be do-able, if you could interact with the game. Its taken me three hours to get through chapter 1 and part of chapter 2. Three hours I'll never get back. :(

Call of the Sea is an absolutely fantastic narrative-driven puzzle game. The developers nailed the look, feel, and mystery of an old school adventure game. Supplemented by the wonderfully written and voiced main character, it is a treat to explore each chapter and uncover the various clues hidden within. As someone particularly bad at puzzles, I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need to whip out a walkthrough often, and that each head-scratcher was challenging yet satisfying.

Each clue and story beat is taken note of in Norah's journal automatically, which means that (1) it's hard to get lost or forget things and (2) that there's no need to take physical notes yourself (which I don't miss). The story is compelling, the visual design is striking and colorful, and the soundtrack pairs perfectly with the environment and themes. Norah's and Harry's stories are flawlessly intertwined, making for some truly touching moments, especially if you resonate with characters in a strong relationship.

Whether you're a puzzle-lover or no, I thoroughly recommend you give this a go. Folks who enjoy similar games such as The Witness , Assemble with Care , I Am Dead , and Maquette will be right at home.

Красочная и загадочная игра-головоломка с переплетением мистики, тайн и любовной истории. Что может быть интереснее исследования островов Полинезии 1930 годов.

СЮЖЕТ
Южная Полинезия, 1934 год. Пытаясь найти своего мужа Гарри, давно пропавшего в экспедиции, Нора Эверхарт пересекает океан и оказывается на тропическом острове. Это всеми забытое, безызвестное место, хранящее память древних цивилизаций.

ОСОБЕННОСТИ
Красоты, воссозданные на движке Unreal Engine 4.
Цисси Джонс, озвучивающая главную героиню игры.
Полное эмоциональное погружение в тайны истории.

ГЕЙМПЛЕЙ
Мы отправляемся на поиски любимого мужа, пробираясь вглубь острова. По ходу игры нам предстоит собирать разные вещи, оставленные группами людей, побывавших тут ранее. Нужно тщательно всё осматривать и исследовать, каждую деталь и предмет, чтобы уловить какую-нибудь ниточку, ведущую к подсказке.

Для этого у Норы всегда под рукой есть блокнот. В игре достаточное количество головоломок, не совсем сложных, но над ними всё-равно придётся немного поломать голову. Локаций в игре много, и все они очень красочные и разнообразные. Всё приятно разглядывать и можно делать множество скриншотов.

Видно, что разработчики из Out of the Blue сильно вдохновлялись Firewatch, которая в своё время была очень популярна. Схожий визуальный стиль, любовь и самокопание героя, а так же общий игровой процесс, заключающийся в ходьбе с решением несложных головоломок, но это не отменяет того факта, что игра получилась достойно самобытной, поскольку захватывающая история обычно всегда в априори становится главным достоинством подобных видеоигр.

ПЛЮСЫ
Невероятно красивая графика локаций.
Превосходное музыкальное сопровождение.
Интересный и затягивающий сюжет.
Наличие русского языка.
Низкие системные требования.

МИНУСЫ
Достаточно простые головоломки.

In diesem Spiel vereinen sich tolle Rätsel mit einem atemberaubenden Look. Ich musste zwar nie an einer besonders harten Nuss verzweifeln, hatte jedoch doch schon das ein oder andere mal eine Ehrenrunde im Gehirn nötig um weiterzukommen und das Game zu beenden. Alles in Allem würde ich den Schwierigkeitsgrad als Leicht bis Mittel einstufen.

Cellshading vom Feinsten und geschichtlich in einer Lovecraft artigen Mystery-Geschichte platziert, da hat mich Call of the Sea total abgeholt.

Super great, two endings (you can save right before). Some puzzles I had to scratch my head for a while to finish, but usually I had missed quite an obvious thing (like the little eye icon blending into a white object I was supposed to click on, so I didn't cause I couldnt see it well). Very imaginative, BEAUTIFUL art and environments. I'll have to play again to take screenshots next time.

Really enjoyed this game! It has a decent story, lush visuals, good voice acting, and the puzzles are challenging enough while fair. No pixel hunting, and I really appreciated the journal feature, I only had to use paper for one of the last puzzles and that is mostly because that made it easier for me to work through it. I did get a little dizzy from walking around, specially if I tried to keep walking while turning.

Une vraie bonne surprise.

Outre les graphismes originaux et très beaux, j'avais dans un premier temps peur de partir sur une intrigue assez convenue avec des énigmes trop simples. Il n'en fût rien. La courbe de difficulté des énigmes croît au fur et à mesure, et avec elle la profondeur de l'histoire. "Call of the sea" me semble un excellent compromis pour les joueurs qui auront une première approche avec ce genre , et ceux, plus aguerris, qui y retrouveront tout à la fois le plaisir nostalgique des premiers jeux à énigmes mais aussi une agréable échappée dans un univers où même s'il faut savoir faire preuve de logique, l'insolite a la part belle.

One of the better adventure games.

Pros
+ Story
+ Visuals
+ Puzzles

♥♥♥♥
+- Slow paced (not for everyone)

Summary
The story is fascinating, a casual start that ramps up to a sci-fi novel.

Visuals are very colourful and feel welcoming/lively, it's a nice change from the classic adventure grainy realistic look.

Puzzles were mostly easy to solve thanks to the journal and helpful notes.


The only downside I found is the movement speed, the game was made with a slow pace in mind, you are a character with a disease that was unable to walk without a cane so you can't expect her to suddenly start sprinting around as nothing happened.

Playtime: 4-5 hours

Achievements: Easy/Straightforward

Overall: 8/10

Additional notes

I still managed to struggle with some of the puzzles, the guidance is very minimal so if you are missing a crucial piece of information to finish a puzzle the game won't tell you.

Jeu vraiment sympathique, autant niveau graphisme que gameplay. Les énigmes ne sont ni trop dures ni trop simples et l'histoire est passionnante.
Pour les complétionnistes, le jeu est facilement finissable à 100% en moins de 5h. C'est d'ailleurs le seul petit bémol de ce jeu : trop court ! :-(

Je recommande grandement !

The graphics are really pretty, but there's something wrong with the movement or the framerates. It just makes me dizzy and feel seasick when moving around. Movement in general is frustrating and there is a lot of walking back and forth. I'm a long time gamer but I cannot play through this one.

最初买下来的时候本以为只是一个克苏鲁系的偏恐怖游戏,但万万没想到它是一个唯美的解密……外加一个让我潸然泪下的爱情故事。
夫妻之间的爱情让我动容,即使是在克苏鲁的巨大框架里,面对着庞然大物般存在的古神,两人间的情感也绝不渺小。
解密不难,基本不会卡关,整个流程下来就是看看风景,找找彩蛋,十分休闲。
喜欢克苏鲁的朋友们不要错过——当然,对爱情故事有兴趣的朋友们更不要错过。
好了,我先去擦眼泪了……

从剧情来说,没啥可挑剔的,大概这就是悲剧的独特魅力吧,就像结尾的一句话:“现实生活里,各色爱情故事不会止于婚礼,葬礼才是这些故事最终的结局。”看惯了现在各种小说电影,好多都以男女主经历种种磨难最后在一起为结局,看多了也看腻了,反倒是这样的悲剧才更能发人深思。画风和音乐都非常优美,但是玩了这么多解谜游戏,这个游戏的解谜几乎都是我不喜欢的那种,各种排序,各种收集线索,行走哪怕是跑起来也还是太慢,但是整体上还是非常好的一部作品。

A great puzzler with a beautiful locale. The narrative, voice acting and music were all haunting and sweet. The puzzles were just challenging enough to be rewarding to complete but never too hard I couldn't solve myself. The only thing I found frustrating was the travel back and forth between some of the clues and puzzles.

DISCLAIMER: This is a full review, and NOT a first impressions review

Call of the Sea is a game developed by Out of the Blue and published by Raw Fury

I'm not going to spoil anything in this review or say much, all I'm going to say is if you want a heartfelt story that touches on topics such as death, acceptance, moving on and memories, adding with it a beautiful aesthetically pleasing environment and graphics, really good puzzles, fantastic voice acting and a really well thought out story

The gameplay is filled with puzzles and exploration, thankfully enjoyed these puzzles greatly and they weren't extremely but just enough of a challenge to get your brain flowing, but it really tugged on my heartstrings

It is a wonderful game with some amazing visuals - the trailers don't do the game's beauty justice, I was in awe at certain bits of the game and the game is all aesthetically pleasing, a great voice cast and an amazing soundtrack to boot

Call of the Sea is a wonderfully detailed, intriguing and jaw-dropping at certain points and ultimately a wonderful story about death, acceptance, moving on and memories

I'd highly recommend this game if you like an interesting story, topped with great visuals, a great voice cast, good and challenging (but not too challenging) puzzles and some fantastic music - for their debut game, Out of the Blue have done a superb job!

RECOMMENDED :)

Call of the Sea is a wonderful little indie game.

I personally loved the visuals, it has a very vibrant palette for the vegetation and locations but it also contrasts well with other late-game places that feel very different.
The island's ambience is great, and feels lived in, which helps with the setting.

The gameplay itself is fine, but I do wish Norah would move a little faster, I did feel like she was a bit too slow at times.
I'm not big on puzzle games (too impatient most of the time) so I was a little worried going in, but fortunately these aren't simple enough to make me feel like they're easy, but they're still plenty clever.
One puzzle did frustrate me more than the others, and it was the one at the end of Chapter 5. The timing themselves were annoying to figure out, but the really frustrating part of it was the sound effect that was constantly playing at the same time, it got tiring and headache-inducing very fast.

The game mostly runs well, though for what it looks like and plays like, I would have expected it to not push my PC like it did. I don't know if it was a matter of optimization or something else, but my PC runs Cyberpunk 2077 in Ultra (w/o RT, because AMD cards.) and yet Call of the Sea was more finicky with the frames.

The music is good, it reminded me a lot of any adventure movie from the 90's.

The story is very intriguing, and has some welcome self-acceptance undertones, but would have benefitted a bit more detail in the last chapter in my opinion.
I also think it's disappointing how similar the two different endings are. I would have expected at least one or several slides in the same style of the loading screens to accompany the narration of the endings.

Finally, the game feels a little short, but I somehow don't see how it could have been lengthened, so it's fine.


Overall it's a good game, it's not perfect by any means but it doesn't need to be.

A supremely well designed puzzle/adventure, with a great story. Your character is interesting and has a fun story unfold around them. Art direction is top notch; every moment of the game looks like a painting, regardless of where you're looking. I found the puzzles to be extremely well balanced in difficulty, with one exception, which I didn't even understand how to solve even after I looked it up in a walkthrough. But, otherwise, awesome all around.

First of: The biggest problem I had with this game is that it is way too short, because in every other aspect it excels. The story is interesting and the atmosphere is nice. The riddles, if you want to call them that, are super easy and not one takes alot of time (most of the time is walking around the single interactive points).

So in general it feels like the game could be double the size because at the end it feels a bit rushed (and the conclusions don't bring everything to a full closure).

I honestly feel like this is one of the first games I've ever played where it felt like I was the "target audience." Literally the premise is "You're the bastard love child of Evie from the Mummy and Jane from Tarzan suffering from a chronic illness." Shove my two favorite characters together and then give her a deeply personal issue to connect to and call it a day, why don't you? But wait! Magic? Grotesque mermaids? Puzzles?
Seriously, I loved so many aspects to this game.

I highly recommend if you are a fan of mystery or puzzle centric games.

My only two gripes with it were the fact a main part of the narrative consists of Norah waxing poetic about how wonderful her husband was, and personally it actually made that portion feel forced. It was a "tell" rather than "show" story telling approach, and though I understand why it was necessary to this game, being informed constantly that these characters are in love in a really straightforward and boring way just made them seem like an annoyingly perfect couple who lacked any real chemistry. Ultimately the game itself was still enjoyable, but I definitely think aspects of the writing could have been better.

My second gripe is that as much as I adored Norah, and her character design. As the story unfolded it did feel more and more odd that she was a blond woman from Denver and not a polynesian woman. Even a polnesian woman who's family had moved to Denver for some reason would have made more sense. I am willing to give a certain benefit of the doubt due to there being supernatural aspects at play, but since they were not explicitly cleared up in the story I am still left a little perplexed at this particular aspect.

Its basically Myst but you don't need a billion IQ. Mostly the puzzle solutions are straightforward enough and the guidance/clues are close at hand (the game is split up into chapters and the chapters/puzzle-areas are small to medium so you don't typically have to travel far,) The character even makes notes of the clues which is really convenient.

Also Unlike Myst the protagonist actually talks and the voice acting is pretty decent and is appreciated.

Graphically the game can look really beautiful with some really nice lighting but unfortunately there is some strange blurriness to the graphics when your moving. Motion blur has been turned off and it doesn't really feel like motion blur. I think its possibly an attempt at dept of field gone wrong. It can be really annoying and I think could be a deal breaker for some if your very sensitive to it.

Overall I enjoyed it, despite some really bad optimization on the last chapter,

I'd recommend this to fans of puzzle games, but no one else really. It looks fantastic, solid voice acting, good music, and personally I found the puzzles really hard, because I realized that I am very bad at puzzlers like this one. Plenty of walkthroughs out there though to help you through. IGN made a spoiler-free one if you just want hints.

However without the puzzles, the game itself is a horribly slow walking simulator. The base movement speed is basically crawling, and the sprint movement speed is a slow walk. After I was finished I had a cramp in my hand because I was constantly pressing the shift key to run and the game does not feature a toggle for running.

The story is pretty neat, and ultimately I don't regret my time with the game. I would recommend trying to solve the puzzle in your head and then checking a guide if you were correct, because if you trial-and-error in game, you will have died of old age by the time you get to the credits due to how slow you walk.

Игры на троечку. Смущает отсутствие музыки, искусственное растяжение времени геймплея через беготню. Сюжетка простовата, а философия главной героини просто банальна. Половина игры это монолог, или созерцание довольно красивого мира, вторая половина - решение очередной головоломки

Короткая версия:

Б_ля, если вы хотите поиграть в головоломку или около того - поиграйте во что нибудь другое, тот же принцип талоса.



Длинный хуевый текст, который мне взападло фиксить:

Мне настолько не понравилась игра, что я даже решил написать отзыв.

Что в этой игре на крутом уровне:
-Антураж.
Локации сделано на высоком уровне, прикольно и определенно плюс
-Графика.
Отличная стилизация, нет ненужной гиперболизации или чего то подобного, что часто бывает у игр с такой стилистикой. Тут все на добротном уровне и вопросов нет.
-Английская озвучка.
Хотя говорит тут только по факту главная героиня, но она остается хорошей.

Что в этой на ОК уровне:
-Сами локации и их строение.
Они небольшие, но это и хорошо, т.к. персонаж ходит очень медленно(даже с шифтом, без него это еще в 3 раза медленнее). И еще хорошо тем, что они хотя бы чем то наполнены, были бы локации больше - было бы в разы хуже

Что здесь плохо
-Загадки.
Реально, если вы хотите загадок/головоломок, то идите лучше перепройдите "The Talos principle" или "The witness". Головоломки здесь никакие и очень часто у вас будет ситуация, что вы вроде почти решили загадку, но чего то не хватает. Оказывается, вы не нажали на какую то кнопку, которая в заднице локации и все.
И в итоге выходит: решение загадки - 2 минуты; Поиск кнопки - 10 минут.

-История.
Казалось бы, если нет головоломок, то есть история. Нет, ее нет. Это обычная история, предсказуемая, неинтересная, вяло подаваемая через записки, которые вы скипаете, но смотрите тк "А вдруг здесь подсказка к загадке"

-Персонаж.
Главный персонаж тоже никакой. Это женщина, которая иногда говорит, причем говорит очень глупые вещи/шутки/фразы, которые ничего не делают. Это как будто пердеж в воздух. Сама история персонажа тоже никакая, буквально - ее почти нет.

-Ходьба. Это просто ад, вы устанете ходить. Вы будете идти к другой локации и вы уже устанете нажимать W, настолько скучно вам будет.

-Лишние анимации.
Не знаю зачем, но в игре очень много ненужных анимаций, они ничего не делают, они повторяются из разу в раз. Ничего не добавляют, ни геймплея, ни повествования. Они очень медленные и если бы их не было - было бы в разы лучше, на мой взгляд.

-Продолжительность.
Очень короткая, но тут и сюжета - раз два и обчелся.

-Концовка.
В игре две концовки - это не секрет. Они обе отвратительны. Она типа "Вот это правильно", второе "Ну типа ок, так тоже можно". Но концовки плохие, по причине сюжета. Но отметить стоит.

Итог:
Игра берет афишей и скриншотами в магазине. Покупаешь вроде, вроде играешь, что то тебе постепенно начинает не нравится. Потом ты осознаешь то что тебе не нравится и тут уже выбор за каждым.

Мне лично, игра очень не понравилась. Если вы хотите поиграть в нормальную головоломку, то поиграйте в игры, которые упомянуты выше,там есть во что поиграть и над чем подумать(Как и загадки, так и истории). Как IGN поставил ей 9, я не знаю.

Но конечный выбор будет все равно за вами, поэтому надеюсь если вы это в итоге купите, то игра вам больше понравится чем мне и вы получите от нее удовольствие, а не кусок фрустрации.

Новое мистическое приключение на таинственном острове в поисках своего мужа. Ознакомиться с геймплеем и частью прохождения можете здесь:
Vidéo YouTube™: Call of the Sea | Первый взгляд | Полинезийский Ктулху 
Vues : 1,289
Обзор, первый взгляд и прохождение новой инди игры, где мы отправимся в путешествие на таинственный остров, чтобы найти мужа - Call of the Sea 📜 Описание серии: В этой серии мы, в роли бесстрашной...


Начинается все в странном сне и позже вы переноситесь на судно, где собираете вещи и отправляетесь на остров. Абсолютно одна, на три дня и без оружия, что безумно странно, но, видимо, любовь немного затуманила голову. Дальше мы продвигаемся по острову, решаем головоломки, который не сильно трудные (особенно если смотреть в дневник), и постепенно узнаем страшную тайну острова, экспедиции и собственной болезни.

Геймплей построен на поиске предметов, решении головоломок и тонне текста, который передает вам историю (также моментами девушка произносят монологи о своем прошлом). Главное здесь быть внимательным и обыскивать каждый уголок, тогда с прохождением не возникнет никаких проблем.

Здесь очень красивая и сказочная визуальная часть, неплохое звуковое сопровождение и любовь к деталям.

Иногда проскакивали подгрузки, из-за которых немного фризило, пару небольших опечаток в русском тексте, а также уж через чур много информации на квадратный метр.

Отличное приключение, если вы соскучились по старым добрым и красивым бродилкам с головоломками.

Great little atmospheric puzzle game. The soundtrack is absolutely beautiful.

I highly recommend if you are into lovecraftian themes, great art/sound design and chill puzzles.

It sure is full of vibrant colours but it ain't a 9/10 stuff (oh wait..that's from Ignorant Gamers' Network, silly me). It starts off rather well but goes downhill pretty fast. It's just half-baked. Bloom, emissive maps and volumetric lights are nice but they don't make a good game. Story wise it's really lacking. You know what's up pretty much by chapter 2. As always, the devil's in the details. E.g. once Norah delves deeper into the unknown goo land she would've deffo felt whole lot better and be able to sprint faster, jump and climb since she claims to feel great. The way she comes to conclusions about what she thinks the murals depict is baffling at best. Voice acting doesn't change one bit the longer she stays on the island, if the "sickness" was truly overtaking her very being we'd hear some deranged rants or see intermittent visions without having to interact with anything. It's a painfully slow ride. One of those games you'd rather watch on youtube than spend time playing. Indirect consumption ftw. And if studios want people to pay them they better make games with good stories.

The game is overall decent, I'd give it a 6.8/10 with a gun to my head, but if you'd hired me as a QA tester and sat me in front of the puzzle where you have to raise and lower the water level in the stone village, I'd have made a "least enjoyable puzzle of the generation" award out of paper and crayon and hung it around the neck of the lead level designer.

Please also stop making puzzles where the answer is a sequence of 4/5 digits/symbols etc, I solved the hardest puzzle in the game by pure accident by ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around with the levers (the language one), and I still don't understand how it was actually meant to be solved.

Call of the Sea is a little different to the usual Lovecraftian works we get these days. Less of a focus on the eldritch horror and mind flaying incomprehensible creatures. As a puzzle game, Call of the Sea also stays away from fixing all your problems with a shotgun and dynamite.

Instead Call of the Sea is an adventure of the unusual and alien, but also the wonder and notions of alienation or belonging. On top of this, we get to explore an island full of vibrant colour rather than a drab barnacle covered fishing district.

Call of the Sea has absolutely wonderful art direction, music, and story ideas. As a game it has what it needs - the puzzles can be a little hit and miss, some have a refreshing amount of environmental integration or letting the player put two and two together, others are straight forward or just require you to pick up the final clue that puts it all together for you.

Overall Call of the Sea is quite pleasant. A thoroughly refreshing and colourful adventure, though perhaps two hours or so too much walking.

I'm putting this as a negative review to warn people of some negatives.

Call of the sea was one of the more interesting games I've played.
The story and puzzles were great! but the controls never felt fluent. WARNING: the smooth and bouncy camera you have when turning on the game (you can change it in the settings) made me almost throw up. Genuently, it made me feel carsick.
And I also felt the same way a couple of times here and there throughout the game.

Here are some notes I wrote up while playing (spoiler free)
NEGATIVE:
- She talks to herself, like how you do in your brain but just out loud. And she talks A LOT.
- She has so much exposition to say
- Smooth walking, smooth camera, smooth mouse, smooth my genitals under a conveyor belt
- the font in the notebook is impossible to read but the font you change it to in the settings is ugly
- you don't have feet (if you look down)
- loading screens
- LADDERS SUCK SO MUCH AND THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. It plays an animation of her going onto and off the ladder and It's
SUPER SLOW.
- Not fully replayable

POSITIVES:
- A lot of research went into the setting and environment, it really feels like you're in a different time.
- Environments are really well built and does not require backtracking
- You only hear the voice line once but have the option to play it again, which is very nice.
- The puzzels are challenging and fun

Conclusion:
It's a good game. If you like story exposition and lovecraftian horror, It's really cool.
The developers are really onto something; it just needs some fine tuning.

画风很舒服3D也没有很晕,给 8 out of 10!
扣分在推理稍微有点少了然后剧情有点单薄。总体来说还是很好的。8h通关时长。(反正我的通关时长一般比别人两倍还多你们自己算吧)

Highly linear with irritating obtuse puzzles interspersed that will try even the most patient people. Its not the puzzles its the fact that there are ridiculously tenuous links between them and the whole thing just becomes a hoop jumping exercise. I had hoped for something to play with my kid but this would even drive adults mad. Avoid.

A stunningly gorgeous game about a woman with a chronic disease(?) looking for her husband, which may or may not have things to do with...the Old Gods? That's about all I'll mention about the story, as it's worth going through fresh - it's got some absolutely lovely voice acting, and the ending did make me tear and hit *hard*.

Call of the Sea looks BEAUTIFUL - very vibrant, especially in the beginning of the game and in the underwater sections. Colours pop and numerous times I just stopped bask in it, especially in the foliage-rich areas. It becomes more muted later in the game, which is a shame, but regardless, it's a feast for the eyes. The artwork is also a masterpiece.

If I have a recommendation, I would keep a friend on side to help you through some of the puzzles - some of the hints were too obtuse and confusing, and I got stuck numerous times wondering what the game was asking of me until a friend offered their suggestion. Without them, I would have had to resort to online guides, which isn't great. The complex timing puzzle is a particular offender with this, especially since it seemed like I'd succeeded several times, but the game decided I hadn't (the hints weren't exactly the most helpful either). I'm still not certain what was different about the time the game decided I'd succeeded, and even the friend who'd managed to help me through was clueless as well.

There are also puzzles underwater which I could have solved faster if I'd had access to my journal at the time...but being underwater, I couldn't and there was no way I found to pop back out to check. They were not particularly complex, granted, but it was annoying, especially as the journal is such a useful reference for puzzles.

Also, there is some potential accessibility issues with some puzzles too - a Simon Says puzzle was a test of aural memory, but it was not twinned with a symbol or other visual representation, which made it very difficult for myself (a confluence of bad short-term memory, and audio processing issues). Thankfully a friend was there to be my 2nd memory and as far as I can tell it wasn't randomised, so it would be possible to use notes to get through it eventually, but it was very frustrating at the time.

That said, they were only the occasional mar on an otherwise very enjoyable exploration puzzle game - I appreciate the efforts to never outright tell you 'hey do this', and the journal is ridiculously handy for referencing things, even if sometimes I think some visual hints could have benefited from a little more clarity. Of course, this might be a case of your mileage varying.

In summary, if you're looking for an exploration puzzle game with a story that will tug on your heart-strings with some absolutely gorgeous art and aesthetics, I would recommend this game, with a caveat to ask for a second opinion on some puzzles if they don't seem to come clearly to you.

I have to write this with two struggeling hearts in my chest: the heart of a gamer and the heart of a fan of lovecraftian literature. I gave a good voting because of my "gamer-opinion".

As a gamer i can say:
+ Great graphics that underline an interesting and mysterious ambience
+music and sound were great and created a wonderfull atmosphere
+very good riddles and puzzles that had no unfair or unlogical solutions

-/+interesting story but no suprising twists. nothing bad but not outstanding good either.

-voiceactors seem to only have about 2-3 emotions. usually no problem for me, but there
were a few situation that put me really off because of the voice acting.
-the movement speed may be "atmospheric slow" but sometimes just were annoying slow,
even more when you had to do some running because puzzle-pieces were spread over the
whole map
-the main characters body sometimes gets stuck in the ground or on objects. Happens in
many games but as you can´t jump in this one, getting stuck a bit usually ended in reloading
the last save for me. No game-breaker but kind of annoying.

As a fan of lovecraftian literature:
I was a bit underwhelmed in this part. From the trailers and pictures in the shop i did not expect great cosmic horrors and mindtwisting creatures but....all in all it was way too friendly for a lovecraftian game. I know, i know: creativity lives from new combinations and the combination of Lovecraft and some kind of beautiful and not (otherwordly) life threatening world..did not work for me...sadly.
As i don´t want to spoil, i can´t write down why the world was not threatening and dangerous for me but i have my reasons and understand the dev´s reasons to craft their world in that way.

Long story short: I very much enjoyed the game but on look on the lovecraftian aspects it is
like "how can i tell my 6 year old child a lovecraftian story without traumatizing it?"...and that
a big piece of fun missing there.

In my opinion, an all-around impressive game. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is really enjoyable, the story is engaging, the puzzles are logical enough to avoid frustration, and the ending is more satisfying than that of most other games like this. I was drawn in from the first minute and really enjoyed the experience. The only small thing that bothered me was that it didn´t always run smoothly, there were some slightly choppy parts, especially towards the end but I´m not sure who the culprit was.

Great game! Beautiful use of colour and one of the best puzzle/adventure games I have played in a long time. It is fairly slow paced with limited action, but the story was engaging and the puzzles posed just enough challenge to keep me coming back for more.
I initially had a graphics issue (it was stuck on a very low resolution and the in-game settings didn't seem to change anything) and I am very disappointed that the publisher/developer never bothered to respond to my request for support. (I was eventually able to find a solution in a reddit forum though)

A must-have for all puzzle/adventure lovers. Call of the Sea ticks a lot of the boxes. It has:

1) Gorgeous environments.
2) Interesting story (based on the Lovecraft mythos).
3) Elaborate puzzles that require some brainstorming.
4) Nice off-screen interactions between the main characters.

Furthermore, it is relatively short (took me 11 hours to complete) so it keeps your interest at high levels.

Personal rating: 8/10

Do not recommend.
Story is good, but short.
I'm a "slow gamer" so i finished it in 8 hours, but it can be finished under 3.
Voice acting is good. Art is good.

Puzzles are get quite boring quite fast.
Got stuck in the textures, and because of the save system had to load previous save.

If this was demo this would have been very good, but as a finished full game this doesn't fly.

This is a borderline recommendation for me, hampered by the fact that the plot and puzzles lost me in the final act. At the end of the day, though, it kept me intrigued enough to finish it, which I think means it is worth giving it a shot pending a sale.

The strengths of the piece are its setting and mood. A very strong entry into a subgenre that I have seen people call "colorful horror," the story unsettles in spite of the bright, tropical atmosphere, and at times the setting delivers you into truly breathtaking scenarios. A series of puzzles designed around playing an organ escalates into something unforgettably cool.

It's a shame that the climax left me wanting more, then, or that so much of the enjoyment of a narrative-based game depends on whether it nails its final moments or not. I suppose that results will vary, but, I think this is one of those stories that could have been solved with a phone call, or at least, made more cathartic with one. If nothing else, the emotional struggle of the games final choice might have hit me with more impact if one of the characters involved hadn't been at such arms length the whole time.

Add to that a few late sections which feel less like puzzles to be solved than padding to the game time, and I wound up feeling kind of ambivalent on this game, which never really recaptures its sense of wonder once it starts answering questions.

Enjoyable game, good atmosphere. Plenty of Lovecraft references, while going easy on the horror. Reasonable puzzles. I checked a walkthrough twice - once just to find which order to solve two puzzles, once to discover that I'd already solved a puzzle and just needed to try again due to some user error. Took me about 12 hours, although a lot of that was poking around thoroughly to make sure I'd not missed anything in the lush environment.

If you enjoy playing through a story where none of your choices really matter, with mild puzzles, and a lovecraftian flavor, then this is for you. Overall, it felt much more like an interactive story than a game. I did enjoy it, but it wasn't what I thought from the previews.

What a treasure of a game. Call of the Sea is a first person adventure game, set in the 1930s. It's beautifully vibrant, with a solid story, decent voice acting and overall a great feel and atmosphere to it.

Riddles and puzzles aren't weird or, hehe, out of the blue, plus the game has sort of a hint system that I just love. Normally when playing adventure or point&click games I make notes on paper so that I don't have to keep going back and forth. Here, Nora, our heroine, does the work for us in her journal. Simply grand.

Music is there, it's nice, doesn't come to the foreground too often, but is a pleasure to listen to. So is voice-acting, though 90% of it is Nora speaking.

Game is absolutely beautiful, with vibrant colours and fairytale like graphics. 10/10, would set screenshots as wallpaper.

The only bad thing? Game is too short, I wish we had few extra hours on the island.

And, risking some SPOILERS here, I gotta say, the best part of the game for me was the fact that it's a Call of Cthulhu game for scaredycats like me. Thank you.

Positives (+):
+ beautiful graphics
+ solid story
+ decent voice acting and music
+ so many pretty colours....
+ good puzzles and the journal mechanic, absolutely LOVE IT

Negatives (-):
- kinda short
- there doesn't seem to be a chance for a sequel

Quick: Overall a great game with a decent storyline that drives the puzzles.
Details: We loved playing this game (there are 3 of us in our 50's) as it was one of our first puzzle-based games that took place in an outdoor environment. The graphics were excellent and the puzzles were highly challenging without being too tedious. The story did help to drive the game and provided reason "why" you just did something. The entire experience was enjoyable to us and helped propel us into finding other games that are similar. If you are interested, after finishing this game we went on to play Eyes of Ara and Quern which were great follow-ups to this game.

This game is a story with puzzle. Maybe like 85% of story and 15% of puzzle. Easy puzzles, so you can just relax and enjoy. But I think it is not worth it to pay a full price. Highly recommend to buy this game when it's on sale.

The sound, graphics and storyline in this game are excellent. The game itself also has a great atmosphere and makes you want to complete it. I really enjoyed exploring the island and solving the puzzles - some of them are very hard and it takes some serious thinking and experimentation to figure out some of the puzzles in chapter 4 and 6. Highly recommend this game.

other than pretty graphics there isn't anything to the game :(( the storyline is really boring and very predictable, the movement is painfully slow which feels even slower when u have to constantly backtrack to finish puzzles, the controls in general are kind of really awkward. i was really excited to play this and finished it in hopes of the game picking up but i feel like i just wasted my time <///3

This is a wonderful and very meaningful puzzle adventure game, where you, playing Norah, a very brave and loving lady, is happily married and in love. As you play through the game, you, as Norah, find out more and more about who she is and where she came from.
The story is lovely and emotionally deep, and will leave a lasting impression.

The graphics are beautiful and colorful, with deep and subtle colors and artwork. The sounds are also great, with wonderful music. I suggest you play in a darkened room to allow you to experience them in all their glory.

Some have complained that the puzzles are too easy. Yes, I have played many tough puzzle games, but this game would be ruined with too difficult puzzles. This simply is not the right game for super difficult puzzles. I believe they are well thought out here, not too hard and not too easy. Also, I believe the walking speed is spot on as well.

If there's any criticism I have with this game, it's too short. I love adventuring through the game and finding out more about the island and the race Norah is exploring, and I wish there was more to see. There HAS to be more about this race than what was shown, and I was really hoping to find out much more. Even if nothing more than optional levels or text to read, I just want to find out more! If the developers could even release some post release text on this, I would be ever so thankful. Yes, the game is rather short, and I believe more could have been added.

Still, this is a beautiful and very meaningful adventure, which is worth exploring.

NOTE: Be sure to look at every note and every mural, and walk around every area. You'll unlock all the collectibles doing so.
I would love some kind of sequel that explores this race more and more

As cool as the trailer looks: no it's not Firewatch with pirate islands. It's a much smaller indie budget title. And sadly the writting and voiceacting is not good enough to really make it worthwhile.

It's a well-made game with reasonable puzzles.. I almost didn't have to use any walkthrough.. BUT I'm giving a WARNING.. the game is quite scary.. it might not be horror.. but if you have lots of anxieties like me.. I would NOT play this game! I had to stop playing after these 4 hours.. because I don't find it fun to be scared.

It contains these 'scary scenes':

-swimming underwater(in the sea)
-spooky sounds with creepy ooze from creepy eyes
-walking in an abandoned camp, on a beach in the darkness of night with thunder and a huge stranded abandoned ship on the shore.
-very likely it gets worse if you keep playing..

I would recommend this game, but only for people who like both walking sims and puzzle games.

The game is very pretty to look at, and the puzzles were almost always just the right amount of challenging. For some reason though, the game didn't really speak to me from the beginning, but i stuck with it, particularly because of the story. The story became progressively more interesting the further in I got, and it also took some turns that I didn't expect.

I do feel that i have played too many games that are kinda similar to this one though, which is why i personally don't think this game stands out too much in the grand scheme of things. The game also lasts only about 5-6 hours. For these reasons, I'm glad that i bought it at half price, even though I'm sure plenty of others would feel like they got their money's worth even if they payed full price, since it is a good game overall.

Fantastic story telling with heavy influence from H.P Lovecraft. Though sometimes lacking in clues, the puzzles aren't too difficult. Well worth the price.

It was a good little story game. The puzzles took a bit of thinking, but weren't so hard that I had to look up how to solve them. Overall pretty good, but I would recommend getting it for a discounted price, as I finished it in less than 10 hours, and I usually consider I shouldn't pay more than $1 per hour I play a game. So at full price it would be too much.

Destaca en su diseño artístico, que no en su apartado gráfico... El punto de partida es interesante, y el nivel de dificultad de los puzles, ya desde el principio me está pareciendo algo más elevado de lo normal, aunque eso no es malo, siempre que mantengan una coherencia y una lógica que permita desentrañarlos prestando la suficiente atención... Hecho un poco de menos algo mas de interactividad ♥♥♥ el entorno y que el gameplay abarcara un poco más que la resolución de los puzzles...

Esta última nota va dirigida al estudio español, me da un poco de pena el poco empeño que han puesto, en steam, y en twitter en traducir ciertos elementos, como una pequeña narración de lo que acontece antes de llegar a la isla... Comprendo que el inglés es prioritario, más sí no te sobran los recursos... Pero siendo españoles, me ha parecido un detalle un tanto feo.

De momento el voto es positivo...

I remember when Portal came out and first person adventure/puzzle games exploded and there were so many interesting takes on the subgenre. Some evolved the traditional Myst-like gameplay, some started mixing mechanics and ideas from other genres, some played with physics objects a lot… But for the past 5 or so years, I’ve been mostly ignoring these types of games. There are way too many of them and yet, vast majority of the games seems to fall into two main types: either story driven games with almost pointless adventure elements slapped on top or incredibly complicated puzzle games that make Myst look like an obvious and easy game for children.

Call of the Sea got my attention because it seemed like it could be at least slightly more engaging than a typical “slapped on top” type of adventure. And for the first hour or two, that’s almost what it was. But then it turned into one of the most tedious and poorly designed first person adventure games I’ve played in a while.

The game plays like one would expect from the genre – you explore locations from the first person perspective to find clues and solve puzzles to progress, while a story unfolds. In case of Call of the Sea, the story takes the Cthulhu mythos as a basis for the plot and something Jules Verne-inspired for the mood. This mix is somewhat surprising and doesn’t seem to quite work. There are countless moments that seem to aim at building tension and being scary, but they’re not. And at the same time, the game often portrays itself as something wonderous and exciting during the most dry and uneventful sections. None of this is helped by the fact that whomever wrote the script seemed to believe that main characters can’t stay silent for longer than half a minute, so our main heroine explodes into infinite trite monologues every couple of steps you take in the game.

Maybe it wouldn’t be as jarring if the story itself was any good, but it’s just uninteresting, despite starting out with a promise. And the final 10 minutes of the game include a… “plot twist”? I guess? I mean, imagine if you were reading a book about a character named Harry and then the final 15 pages of the story decided to shock you, with countless explanations and flashbacks to earlier scenes, that the character name is actually Henry. Even though that changes absolutely nothing about the story or the character or anything at all. It’s baffling and feels like a result of designing an interactive ending first and then writing a story that needed to lead up to the ending but didn’t.

Yet, even though it is a story driven adventure, it could still work as an adventure/puzzle title set in really pretty looking levels. But even here things start at inoffensive and end up tedious and annoying. First half of the game is full of puzzles that you solve without much thinking, while appreciating that these puzzles exist, as simple as they are. But later the game essentially switches all puzzles to horribly tedious busywork tasks, where you see the puzzle, understand the puzzle solution, but have to run around for 15 minutes and collect the puzzle pieces so you could finally move on. Then a really complex but exciting sounding puzzle, where it turns out you just need to do what the game shows you. Then you get an even bigger location where the puzzle is “press buttons”. Then poorly designed Simon Says. Then the exactly same timing puzzle repeated several times. Then another incredibly primitive puzzle, except you need to run around another large level each time you complete one section of it simply to unlock another section. All while the main character continues with her pointless introspection.

While playing the first half of the game I thought that it will end up being the “eh, I guess it’s pretty and you can check it out on sale, then forget about it” type of game. But then the later half of the game happened and even though apparently it lasted for about 2 hours, to me it felt like 6 and I started hating my time with the game more and more as it went on. So, yes, it is pretty, but no, I won’t recommend playing it even if you see it on sale. There are countless far better games that have more respect for player time and either have stories that are far better written, or stories that you can safely ignore without them getting in the way.

不好玩,解密谜题很简单,线索是巨特么难找,说是解密大多时间都是在找线索,基本都是图形解密,线索一找到,图形就有了,答案也有了,找线索找得头疼,线索找到了又毫无解密难度。我想玩的是能让我花更多心思在谜题上解密游戏,而不是一直找找找。剧情设计很新颖,画面很美,但解密体验很差。

Would put this more as a mixed.
Basically it's far too short for the asking price but the contents isn't terrible.
The puzzles aren't really that difficult and most of them are just inputting a code that they've provided for you.
Story line is decent. Visuals are really good.
No bugs that I found beyond some places where your view clips through a surface so you can see under the map.

This game really fell flat for me on a number of levels. The story was a fairly typical tale of a mysterious ancient civilization without any major twists and turns. The puzzles struck a pretty good balance of being engaging without being frustratingly difficult. The real reason that I don't recommend this game is that I encountered puzzle breaking bugs more than once. Objects that are clearly meant to be interactable just don't work sometimes, which is pretty frustrating. It really soured me on the experience to get stuck on a puzzle not because I didn't know what to do, but because the puzzle itself broke. Overall, I don't think it's a bad game, but it didn't live up to other walking simulator type games to me, even with the puzzle emphasis.

Островная идиллия сменяется жутковатой атмосферой, и история заканчивается так, что после этого проект хочется рекомендовать всем знакомым.

Плюсы: интригующий сюжет, который становится интереснее с каждой главой; красивые локации; изобретательные головоломки; две прекрасные концовки; отлично озвученная главная героиня.

Минусы: со сложностью пары загадок перемудрили; героиня слишком часто комментирует увиденное.

Got it from Humble Bundle. Not what I was expecting, but surprisingly good. As it turns out it was a Lovecraftian game all along. An interesting spin on the usual paths Lovecraftian games usually take though (and I am so tired of those!). Can be finished in around 5 hours.

Всё, что я увидел в этой игре было медленно, скучно и глупо.
1. Персонаж двигается будто находится в вязком студне.
Морскую болезнь я ловил с первых минут нахождения в игре, даже с низкими настройками графики.
Справедливости ради отмечу, что и в Talos Principle, и в Witness - подобные явления наблюдались, но там было хотя бы интересно.
2. А какой замечательный сюжет: женщина заболела острым дерматитом и её муж, в компании отъявленных храбрецов, уехал искать лекарство на остров в Тихом океане (!), где бесследно исчез. Тётечка стала чувствовать себя чрезвычайно плохо, теряла силы каждые пять минут, но при этом через несколько лет решила (!), вооружившись только записной книжкой (!) отправиться искать потерянного супруга (!). В 1930 году (!). И, прибыв в одиночку (!), на остров, о котором тревожно шепчутся люди в радиусе 800 миль, она обнаруживает там вполне обжитое пространство, наполненное предметами папуасской культуры из магазина сувениров (!), головоломками из игры The Room и линейными коридорами с жёсткими стенами. Весьма увлекательно и правдоподобно.
3. Геймплей сводится к зажиманию клавиши W и очень медленному перемещению. Через какое-то время дают возможность бегать, правда со скоростью черепахи. Наверное, это обусловлено сюжетом - типа, женщина-то больна.
4. Каждое движение комментируется героиней таким образом, что через пару минут хочется выключить звук.
5. Вокруг нас псевдореалистичная красота - но гамма такая, как будто ты попал на одну из планет в Outer Worlds. Вырвиглазно и мусорно.
6. А ещё сабж весит 12 Гб (!).

Короче играть мне не представилось возможным.
Я удалил этот симулятор ходьбы - с удовольствием - во имя Ктулху.

I refunded the game due to the intense nausea I got when playing the game! I was super excited for it! I will try watching streams of it instead. I'm sure once the developers fix the issue it will be a better game for more players!

СОВЫ НЕ ТО ЧЕМ КАЖУТСЯ
Игру рекомендовали мне как часть миров Лавкрафта. Когда начал играть сначала не понял, почему. А потом как понял!


Пока это самый необычный игровой взгляд на судьбу героев Лавкрафта из виденных мной. ВАЖНО! Играйте без спойлеров, и получите несравнимо большее удовольствие!


Эй! Я сказал без спойлеров!






THE OWLS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM
The game was recommended to me as part of the Lovecraft worlds . When I first started playing, I didn't understand why. And then how I understood!


So far, this is the most unusual game look at the fate of Lovecraft's heroes that I have seen. IMPORTANT! Play without spoilers and get incomparably more fun!


Hey! I said no spoilers!

可以不玩。1.冒险 2.解谜 3.剧情 4.女性主角
气了个半死,原以为哈利能为诺拉遮风挡雨,没想到风雨全都是哈利这孙子带来的!

游戏介绍是这么说的:“以 1930 年代的南太平洋为背景,将讲述一段爱与神秘的异界之旅。走进草木葱茏的天堂海岛,破解重重谜题,拨开团团迷雾,探寻你先生与探险队的下落。” 然后开局就说女主角诺拉得了怪病老也治不好,她丈夫哈利特别爱她,到处探险给她找偏方治病,结果哈利在个神秘岛失踪了,只留了个奇怪的包裹,然后诺拉循着线索孤身上路万里寻夫。我寻思这又是什么纯爱战神的故事呢,然后开始了自虐旅程。

1.美术把我老花眼都快要带提前了
这美术是谁设定的?咋的美工团队集体色盲啊?分不出色还是咋回事?饱和度这么高?地上那草!那树叶!不知道的还以为是用荧光绿油漆新刷的呢!!就算是个塔希提岛比较原始吧,也不能颜色调都不调就往上抹吧?我又不是没见过原始部落绘画,人家都不好意思整这么花哨!庸俗!

2.部分动画差点给我看晕过去
咱就是说,管风琴演奏那块,还有瀑布啥的,想搞得恢宏壮观的可以理解,搞不出来咱就别搞行不行,咱技术不到位就别硬装行不行?咱就静态的,你随便贴个图我也能理解咋回事,实在不行就让诺拉自言自语都行。为啥非得晃?整个屏幕都一直在晃!把我晃的到后来都不是晕3D了,直接晕车!愚蠢!

3.解谜。。。
解谜太难了!最生气的就是敲锣打鼓那个环节!我都怀疑自己耳朵让人借走了没还回来!怎么就分不清声音了!还有对星象图、对眼珠子什么的,我到最后也没整明白游戏解谜设计者的逻辑是啥!怎么通关的?70%蒙的,30%查攻略了!还好很多题能直接蒙对,不然我还得多骂两行字。

4.差点把我气到爆炸的剧情!
我就想说,哈利你是没长嘴吗?还是手坏了?还是突然不识字了?明明可以一封信说明问题的事!不会写信我教你行不行?就非得装神弄鬼吓唬着重病的媳妇出来吃苦?诺拉明明可以在家天天睡懒觉,睡醒了吃小点心然后继续睡懒觉,被这个脑残丈夫坑出来这么老远遭罪!

5.鄙人的复仇
在经历了上述的美术辣眼睛、动画辣耳蜗、解谜辣脑子的经历后,到最后一关我已经处于爆发边缘了。然后这才知道这些困难都是因为哈利自以为是,打着“我都是为你好”这种借口骗诺拉出来!

然后最后可以让诺拉选择,要么跟哈利一起回家去渡过所剩不多的时间,要么成为古神的女儿,永远生活在海里。我想都没想,果断选择了成为古神的女儿留在海里!原本如果哈利早点把事情说清楚,我还真能让诺拉跟哈利回去共度余生,这么忽悠人,把人都当大傻子,去他的吧!哈利爱咋咋地,这个缺德带冒烟的。我就不要全成就,我也不受这个气!

最后大结局哈利说什么终生未婚,一直思念诺拉,生活失去了动力和意义这个那个的。啊呸!
活该!

谜题不是特别难,拼星图的地方有点烦人,知道解法,但是过程太复杂了。总体还行,但我不喜欢这些结局。死亡和分离都太过沉重和现实,游戏还是俗套点的大团圆更讨喜些。

Чудесная игра с трогательными нотками. Но очень уж короткая.
Не советую брать по полной стоимости, тк 5 часов прохождения того не стоят.
Но брать ее так или иначе все же нужно. Послевкусие у нее очень приятное.

While it's certainly a good looking game, it's really rather short on puzzles for this genre (I finished it after just 5 hours). I would stil have given it a sale-recommendation if it weren't for its biggest and most annoying flaw: the extremely sluggish running speed of the character, which kills all the fun and makes my pinky finger hurt from holding down the shift key for so long. I really can't understand how this didn't come up during play testing.

Really not worth playing, but it has a nice story and the puzzles are fastidious in nature. It is a good 4 hours of gameplay but nothing more. I tend to think this was more of a hassle than entertainment.

-Graphics: They are nice to look at and fitting for the genre.

-Puzzles: Mostly solved by getting almost every clue on a level. Since most of the clues are papers on tables and such, you might miss important clues which are not papers. This mean you will be left clicking everything or waiting for the prompt on different objects so you do not miss a clue.

-Story: It is really nice for a change to play something that is not killing. The story is mostly narrative via clues and cutscenes, and adds a very nice dimension to the gameplay. Where the game would feel empty, the story really fills in the cracks quite nicely.

-Gameplay: Walking simulator and spamming the interact button. Not much to say other than it is bland and slow at times. Also, the levels are small and compact to the point that it detracts from the world they built. Very lacking.

So, for the 1 hour I played the game I really enjoyed it, but I just could not enjoy her way of speaking, she talked in weird ways, being surprised when she should not have been, and made interesting facts rather boring. At least for me. But I want to say that I enjoyed the story, I think it has something going for it. But I just could not listen to her speak anymore, I tried turning off the dialog, but that also kind of made it weird. So, me and my friend watching, decided we had to close it down. Hopefully, you will take it to heart instead of seeing it as just some negative review. Since I sincerely believe it had something going for it.

Příznivci Lovecrafta zbystřete! Objevila se další hra, která se opírá o tvorbu mistra hororu měrou vrchovatou. Neočekávejte nejvíce profláklého tvora Kutululu, ale o něco méně známou bytost, jejíž jméno neprozradím. Call of the Sea není ale hororem, minimálně ne po většinu času, což je vzhledem ve spojení s Lovecraftem dost zajímavá věc. Hlavní hrdinka Norah trpí nevyléčitelnou chorobou, která se den ze dne zhoršuje. Jelikož její matka kvůli té samé věci skonala v neuvěřitelných bolestech, rozhodne se věrný manžel hlavní hrdinky vydat na výpravu na tajuplný ostrov, kde snad vězí klíč k rozluštění této záhadné nemoci a co je to nejdůležitější - nachází se tam i lék samotný. Jenže když Norah po pár měsících neobdrží žádnou další zprávu od svého muže, rozhodne se vše vzít pevně do svých rukou. Vydává se na onen ostrov sama. Následuje stopy výpravy, která snad zmizela z povrchu zemského. Kromě překrásné, nedotknuté přírody, tu nalezne také obelisky, jeskynní nákresy a věci, které působí dojmem, že je přece nemohl stvořit pouhý člověk. Norah se nevydává pouze na cestu za odhalením osudu výpravy svého manžela, ale rovněž za poznáním sebe sama. A kdo ví, co na konci této cesty nalezne...

Call of the Sea je parádní hra. Díky rozdělení do šesti kapitol, ve kterých jste v lehce otevřených lokacích, nikdy nehrozí, že byste se ztratili nebo netušili, kam jít dál. Hádanky, kterých tu není zas tak moc, mají kolem sebe rozesety stopy k jejich vyřešení. Bohužel mi přišlo, že některé z těchto hádanek byly až příliš těžké, překombinované a jejich řešení vyžadovalo obrovské IQ. Je to právě příběh, který vás žene dál, protože vás zajímá, jak to skončí. Po grafické stránce nemám hře co vytknout, příroda a scenérie vypadají naprosto úžasně. Hudba lehce zaostává, ale opakující se melodie, která prochází celou hrou, se mi hodně líbila. Dabing postav je na vysoké úrovni, jen mi snad vadilo, jak Norah mluví o věcech, které tímto způsobem předává hráči jako důležité informace o jejím původu a motivaci apod. Je to taková vypravěčská berlička, která někomu nemusí sednout. Většinu hry kromě komentářů samotné hlavní hrdinky doprovází hromada dopisů a fotek, které zde vypráví onen příběh. Bonusem na závěr jsou pak dva konce, které jsou ale oba dva dost smutné. Tady se žádný happy end nekoná. Pokud jste romantická duše, milující Lovecrafta a výpravy do neznáma, rozhodně tenhle titul doporučuji. Je to sice krátké, ale intenzivní, zábavné a stojí to za ty peníze.

Una aventura profunda nunca mejor dicho, ♥♥♥ un final muy emotivo. Es corto, aproximadamente terminarlo te llevará unas 6/7 horas, pero la historia que cuenta no te dejará indiferente. Los puzzles los hay fáciles y otros no tanto que te exigen estrujar la cabeza. Gráficamente es discreto, pero artísticamente es muy bonito y colorido. Lo pillé por menos de 8€, si lo ves por un precio así ni te lo pienses, muy recomendable si te gustan las aventuras ♥♥♥ puzzles.

Игра оказалась совсем не тем, чего я ожидал, но оценивал исключительно по скриншотам, веря в то, что только годнота может выглядеть так.

Игра является типичным представителем иммерсив симов с головоломками. Всё, больше в ней нет ничего.

В моём представлении жанр мёртворождённый, любить данные игры могут только девианты, которым важно сказать, что они не такие как все (первый аналог в голове - The Witness). Для своего жанра, всё же, плохо о ней не выскажусь, я допрошёл, но игру смело можно пропускать и ставить в игнор лист.

3/10

Bol yürümeli, güzel seslendirmeli, ortalama hikayeli yürüme simülasyonlarından neredeyse gına geldi değil mi? O zaman tam anlamıyla baymadan son bir kez buna da şans verin. Zira biraz önce bahsettiğim özelliklerin hepsini barındırmasının yanı sıra çok güzel bulmacaları var. Hani o sizi küçük düşüren, zekanızla alay edenlerden değil buradaki bulmacalar. "Yok ebesinin örekesi" dedirtip sizi kaçıranlardan da değil. Tam kıvamında buradakiler. Çözünce "ulan pek bir zekiymişim" dedirtir cinsten.
Öte yandan en ufak hesap kitap gerektiren insan animasyonu yok. Ne çevrede hareket eden bir şey görüyoruz, ne ayaklar gözüküyor, ne de gölgemiz bir yere vuruyor. Bir de bunu beceremeyen insanlar niye bu oyunlara projeksiyon koyarlar anlamadım. Başka bir oyunda da başıma gelmişti. Madem koyuyorsun, perdeyle arasına girmeme müsaade etme. Grafikleri, ortamların ambiyansı, hikayesi de ortalama işte. Ortalama süresi de 6-7 saat civarında. Sırf bulmacaları için indirimde kovalanır.

我想我爱上了一个印尼茅斯人

秉着对独立游戏的创意性的期待,我购买了它。不负我望,九小时没白度,钱没白花。

游戏的故事带有克苏鲁元素,但风格和故事内核一点不克。我目睹的现在和日志记载的过去,剧情的双线叙事一点点让我沉浸其中。结局对于爱与自由的探讨颇具深度,为这段浪漫的冒险,圈上了一个带有美感的句号。游戏的部分过场,真的是在低技术力那没有华丽运镜,没有精致人物模型的限制下,找到了一个完美的解决。

游戏的风景非常清新干净,一定程度的降低了部分时候,解谜解不出的焦躁。而说到解谜,这引导的把控,我真的不敢相信这个是这工作室的唯一一款游戏。日志的故事对目标引导,笔记记录解谜的一切要素,如果前提没找全会有提示,而这些提示的隐晦露骨程度,刚好能只提供思路不提供答案。

美中不足的是可能流程是有点短,但对得起这70RMB的价格,我觉得短只是因为太享受了。

I found the puzzles far too easy and the game is very short. I have hoped it would be a little more like Myst, but it is not.

A Wonderful, Lovecraftian story that takes place in a beautiful environment.

Из плюсов: неплохая графика, более-менее загадки и антураж. Не сказать чтобы было сильно интересно или держало в напряжении, местами скучно, но в общем пройти можно, если нет альтернативы получше.
Из минусов: романтические сопли обильно намазанные на толерастию. История ни о чем, хотя, возможно, кого-то и зацепит. Логики нет, объяснения нет, просто пустые эффекты. Экспедиция, куча народу погибло, а все ради чего ?

I can't say it is a bad game but I would not recommend it for sure.

I enjoyed some elements of it: the scenery was definitely beautiful and the first chapter felt very immersive. However, it has very little gameplay beyond walking around and solving puzzles that are not particularly interesting. Some of them were too easy, while others simply made me mad. There are many staged clues that ruin the experience. Moreover, the protagonist's movement speed is a source of endless frustration. The same goes for her from time to time pointless and annoying vocalizations. About halfway through the game, I just wanted to quit because some of the puzzles made absolutely no sense to me and I felt like it was a total waste of time.

I'd give it a 3/10.

9/10. Would become an elder spawn from beyond the stars again.

A beautiful walking simulator in a Lovecraftian universe with solid puzzling throughout. There's some tedious backtracking and a few things that can be easily missed, but overall the game is well paced and the levels are well designed. The story is engaging and the island is full of mysterious atmosphere. If you like walking simulators or Lovecraft, don't pass this up.

This game is just amazing. I bought it in hopes to play something like famous "Firewatch", but it was not just pathetic "like Firewatch", it was wonderful and soul-touching game with memorizable story and beautiful plot. 10/10. I hope Out of the Blue Games will continue making such great games.

Нет никаких сомнений в том, что игра безумно красивая. И это, пожалуй, один из немногих плюсов данной игры. На протяжении всей игры возникает ощущение, что ты не до конца понимаешь, что происходит, и эта абстракция вокруг начинает напрягать. Понятно, что в игре присутствуют отсылки к книгам Лавкрафта, но я, к сожалению, их не читал, поэтому не могу утверждать будет ли интересно тем, кто знает этот мир, но одно могу сказать точно - мне было скучно... Если говорить про головоломки - они действительно сложные и неочевидные. Но еще более подходящее слово к половине из них - нудные! Да, я прекрасно понимаю как решить загадку, но у меня есть две догадки на этот счет, и чтобы проверить каждую - нужно много ходить... (а миссис Эверхарт делает это уж очень медленно). Плюс, все эти механизмы не вызвали у меня восторга, поскольку непонятно как это работает. Да, в ходе сюжета нам объясняют, что все дело в одном веществе, но, честно говоря, это выглядит как дешевый трюк, дабы не объяснять природу всего происходящего. Что касается сюжета, то он достаточно интересный, хоть и очевидный. К сожалению, в отношении главных персонажей у меня вообще не возникли никакие чувства. Ни жалости, ни сострадания. Ничего. Мне они показались пустыми. Да, концовка очень подкупает, но по завершению игры все быстро забывается. Разве что в голове немного отдает болью от всей этой нагнетающей обстановки. В итоге, у меня двоякие чувства к этой игре. Красивая графика, интересный мистический сюжет, но дико скучный геймплей и угнетающая атмосфера. Игра вроде бы и стоит своих денег, но все же больше понравится любителям подобного жанра историй.

The story is nice enough, and the 3D convincing and gorgeous in a graphic novel kind of style, but the content is rather thin for the price.

This game gave sort of mixed feelings. I totally liked the visuals, atmosphere and sound design. But some of the puzzle are too cryptic and obscure. There are puzzles which had big areas and needed constant trekking up and down. And doing those with how slow the character moves even while running and slow ladder climbing animations is the only thing I hated in the game.

O jogo é bem feito, tem um gráfico simples mas bacana e uma história de fundo até bacana. Dificilmente negativo um jogo porém Call of the Sea não conseguiu me prender e pra mim foi sofrido chegar ao seu final. Houveram momentos bacana, a maioria dos puzzles não é tão complexa (ao menos depois que você descobre como fazê-los) o problema pra mim foram as poucas dicas que o jogo fornece para a resolução dos problemas o que força você em alguns momentos a perder um grande tempo na resolução deles, ao final eu sinceramente já estava bem cansado dos quebra cabeças. Enfim, está longe de ser um jogo ruim, se houvesse uma avaliação neutra na Steam optaria por ela, porém como não existe minha análise é negativa.

First of all, lemme just said that once the credits rolled, I clapped my hands in applause to what was an AMAZING adventure.
The first thing I can say about this masterpiece, is that it looks like a painting that came to life. The atmosphere, the lights, the sounds, EVERYTHING is perfect and immersive, I dove head first into the story and the outside world seemed to have vanished once I started to play.
The voice acting is superb, and each character is portrayed and written as realistic as you can imagine. I felt like Norah and her husband were actual people, and was sympathized with their pain.
But the one thing that made this whole experience unforgettable, is the one thing that made me interested in this game in the first place: LOVECRAFT, LOVECRAFT, and again, LOVECRAFT.
Any lovecraftian lovers out there need to regard this game as a MUST HAVE experience. The story is top tier, and the unnatural, otherworldly elements of the game are woven into the story so well it left me in a complete awe. The chase after the not-so-lovely truth of things and the world in general is a main theme in the game, and the sense of alertness and fear is mixed with a sense of curiousity for every damn second of the game.
Also worth mentioning, that every person here that like escape rooms would find immense joy in this game. The puzzles were challenging and satisfying to solve, and I enjoyed them very much.
If this game isn't overwhelmingly positive within a month or so, I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ riot. 10/10.

Тепло. Красочно. Фхтагн!

Молодая и красивая мы отправились по маршруту экспедиции мужа. Каждый новый лагерь встречает нас безмолвием, но не забывает делиться следами из жизни приключенцев. Множество фотографий, записок и различных устройств, выполняющих роль головоломок — всё указывает на неизвестную угрозу, с которой сталкивается команда на их пути.

Игровой процесс развивается в ритме Firewatch и подобных «прогулочных» проектов. Спокойствие рушится с обострением болезни, которая и стала причиной для вылазки на экзотический остров. Хворь рушит наше сознание и сильно прогрессирует именно в этом месте. Вторит тому, что несут истории отображённые на стенах древних строений. Также не помогает ужасный образ, который возвышается над бескрайними холодными водами.

Яркие краски высадки часто теряются в грозах или погружаются на глубины подземных пещер. Окружение никогда не превращается в беспроглядную темень, так как уровни весьма камерные и прямолинейные. Основные точки интереса расставлены по маршруту и всегда будут направления для обязательного взгляда персонажа.

Головоломки выражены небольшими задачами, решаемыми за счёт сбора информации из окружения. Подсказки отправляются в записную книжку и там сортируются для лучшего понимания. С некоторыми придётся повозиться, так как требуют ряда монотонных действий. Многие отмечают созвездия, которые необходимо несколько раз крутить, чтобы открывать то одну дверь, то другую.

Игра содержит в себе настроение Лавкрафта, но подаёт его плавнее. В этом помогают яркие цвета и полумультяшный стиль окружения. Прямые угрозы отсутствуют, поздние формы преображения не переворачивают мир с ног на голову. Не представляются ситуации, когда захочется бросить приключение из-за скачков сердечных ритмов.

Здесь... сказочно...
Нет постоянного давления на душу.
Героиня очень напоминала мою знакомую.
Эти моменты составили хорошее впечатление. Однако многие могут заскучать.

Поэтому ориентируйтесь на желание «очутиться в книге Лавкрафта»:
Да — играйте и проходите;
Нет — не играйте и не проходите.

While not a bad game, I don't exactly get the rave reviews either. After chapter four it kind of turns into walk in a straight line, pick up everything, now go back, do the puzzle that sometimes make little sense. (she always seems to write things down in the order they need to be completed with no real sense as to why) All in all, a good game, both endings were kind of lame, but admittedly, this is out of my comfort zone for games I typically play. 8 hours decently spent, I guess.

I want to rate this highly because it's a beautiful escape. But a fatal error at the start of Ch.3 crashed the game. I tried again - and it crashed my PC. I've checked, my specs meet more than minimum standard for this game. It seems that others have experienced crashes etc. I will definitely revisit and update my review if developers can address this.

Personally, this game didn't really do it for me.

it's a very pretty game, with a beautiful, stylised graphical style. The voice acting is pretty good, too

but I was hoping for a good puzzle game, which this sadly wasn't.
The puzzles were logical, but way, way too easy. You can pretty much figure them out within a few moments, and the only thing preventing you from completing the game in two hours is the infuriatingly slow speed of both your movement and in many cases the puzzle inputs.

The levels can be quite large for a puzzle game, but having to traverse them with a walking speed not much faster than a brisk walk is quite annoying. One puzzle had you input buttons in a specific order, but each button was a half minute foot walk away. and if you did them in the incorrect order, you'd have to go to the very last button to reset and walk aaaaall the way back to the beginning

The story was... ok, I guess. If you're familiar with lovecraft, it won't hold many surprises. but since you don't really get to know any of the characters outside of what they left in writing, there just isn't much to build a relationship with.

I completed the game in 4.5 hrs, half of it feels like it's due to the aforementioned slow movement, which killed any motivation for me to try and complete some more of the achievements, like exploringthe world more.

also, since your base movement speed is so abhorrently slow, I had to keep pressing shift to "sprint". I'd at least wish for an option to toggle sprint by clicking, instead of holding. because keeping one finger on shift can become uncomfortable

all in all, it's not a terrible game. But I can't recommend it.

But if you're into walking simulators set in an idyllic setting with some more advanced puzzles than "connect these four wires correctly", this might be for you.

Хороший квест с отличным дизайном и интересным сюжетом, который захватывает без всяких проблем с первой минуты игры. Рекомендуется всем любителям повествовательных приключений и не очень сложных головоломок. Пройдено за один заход!
